9. By how many will the value of the number 26,543 decrease if the 5 is replaced with a 1?

a. 4,000

b. 400

C. 4

d. 40,000

Respuesta :

The 5 is in the hundreds place so the value of the 5 is 500.

Subtracting 1 from 5 the number becomes 4 ( 5-1 = 4) which would mean the new value would be 400

The answer is b. 400
