Question

In 5_,278, the difference between the values of the digits in the thousands and the tens is 8,930. What is the digit in the thousands

Answer 1

The digit in the thousand place is '9'.

Solution-

The given number is 5_278.

The difference between the values of the digits in the thousandth place and the tenth place is 8930.

The digits in the tenth place is already given, which is 7

Let's assume the digits in the thousandth place is x,

So the value of the thousand's becomes
`(x * 1000) = 1000x`

and the value of the ten's is 7 × 10 = 70

Writing an equation for this,

`1000x - 70 = 8930 \Rightarrow 1000x=9000 \Rightarrow x=9`
