Question

At the Millville Theater, a play ran for several weeks. In all, 28,175 people saw the play. What is the value of the digit 8 in 28,175?

Answer 1

The value of the digit 8 is 8,000. To find the answer all you have to do is replace all the other numbers with zero. So 28,175 would be 08,000; and because a zero before a number doesn't mean anything, you end up with just 8,000.

Answer 2

Value of digit 8 = 8000

Explanation:

There were total 28,175 people who watched the play. We have to tell the value of the digit 8 in the given number.

Number Ten-thousands Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones

28175 2 8 1 7 5

Now, in the given number the digit 8 occurs at the thousands place. Thus, we can evaluate the value of 8 as
`8*1000=8000`.

Thus, 8 have a value of 8000 in 28,175.
