Answer:

5 is in the hundreds place when you take 1/10th of 345,217, so its value is 500.

Explanation:

I'm not sure I understand the question completely, but right now '5' is in the thousands position, right?

But if I take 1/10th of 345,217, then it becomes 34,521.7

(1/10th is the same as dividing by 10, which pushes the decimal one place to the left.)

Now '5' is in the hundreds place. And I guess its "value" is 500.

Does that seem right for what they're asking?
