Answer 1

Explanation:

Using the digits 8,4,7,2,9 and 0 to write a whole Number with 7 in the thousands place and 2 in the tens place :

The whole number is 6 digits long

100 thousand

10 thousand

Thousand = 7

Hundred

Tens = 2

Unit

Also the whole number is less than 500,000

Hence, number in the 100 thousand place is less Than 5,

Hence digit in the 100 thousand place = 4

Placing either 8 or 9 in the ten thousand place will mean That Josh's whole number is greater than 480,000
