Question

32,500 is halfway between 32,000 and 33,000. what digit is in the hundreds place in 32,500?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall place values

In a number, the places are (from right) ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten - thousands, etc. For the number \(32500\), we can write it as \(3\times10000 + 2\times1000+5\times100 + 0\times10+0\times1\).

Step2: Identify the hundreds place

Looking at the expansion, the coefficient of \(100\) (hundreds place) is \(5\). So the digit in the hundreds place of \(32500\) is \(5\).

Answer:

\(5\)
