actice Buddy: Independent Practice; Problem Solving Copy 1 which number does the digit 8 represent \( \frac{1}{10} \) the value of the digit 8 in the number 5,843 ? 2,387 2,478 8,802 8,614

Step 1: In the number 5,843 the digit 8 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 8 × 100 = 800. Step 2: One‐tenth of 800 is 800 ÷ 10 = 80. Step 3: In a multi–digit number, a digit represents a value based on its place value. To represent 80, the digit must be in the tens place (because 8 × 10 = 80). Step 4: Check the answer choices to see which one has the digit 8 in the tens place: • 2,387: The digits are 2 (thousands), 3 (hundreds), 8 (tens), 7 (ones). Here, the digit 8 represents 8 × 10 = 80. • 2,478: The 8 is in the ones place (value = 8). • 8,802: The digit 8 appears in the thousands and hundreds places (values 8000 and 800). • 8,614: The digit 8 is in the thousands place (value = 8000). Thus, the correct answer is 2,387.
