Question

Write any six-digit number where:
(a) 5 is in thousandths place
(b) 5 is in hundreds place
(c) 5 is in tenths place
(d) 5 is in hundredths place
(e) 5 is in tens place

Answer 1

Hint: Here, we are asked to write six digits numbers with different conditions given in question. So, we should know the place value names of different digit in the numbers as per the figure:

Thus, we will take any 6 digits numbers and we will get the answer by seeing in the figure.

Complete step by step solution:
Here, we have to write 6 digits numbers as per the given data in question. So, first we should know the place value names of different digits in the numbers as per shown in figure. Example is as shown below:

So, we can see that before decimal points all the places have names ending with ‘s’ and after decimal point places are ending with ‘th’. So, now we will write 6 digits numbers as per given condition.
Taking case(a): 5 is in thousandths place. As per the diagram this place is after the decimal point. So, we can write any number where 5 should be in a thousandths place. We get as
749.125 ……………………..(1)
Taking case (b): 5 is in hundreds places. As per the diagram this place is before decimal point. So, we can write it as
541.283 …………………………(2)
Taking case (c): 5 is in tenths place. As per the diagram this place is after the decimal point. So, we can write it as
24789.5 …………………….(3)
Taking case (d): 5 is in the hundredth place. As per the diagram this place is after the decimal point. So, we get as
4123.85 ……………………..(4)
Taking case (e): 5 is in tens place. As per the diagram this place is before decimal point. So, we get as
23456.1 ………………………..(5)
Thus, we got the answers.

Note: Students should know the names of places of different digits otherwise there are chances of students making mistakes and leading to wrong answers. So, it is necessary to remember the place's name as per the diagram shown in solution. The most common mistake is not understanding that the hundredths and hundreds place are different. So just remember that ‘hundred’ is what we usually refer to as 100, so ‘hundreds’ will be before the decimal point. The term ‘hundredths’ will hence be after the decimal point.
