The place of the number 5 is 100,000. I'm not really sure how to explain this. Basically think about multiplying ten enough times to where you reach the five (for example, if you were looking to find the place value for the number 6 in 600, it would be the hundreds place). Whatever you come up with with the ten is your place value for the five. Also, try saying the number out loud. The answer is in the name of the number. sixty-nine million, five hundred thousand.
