Which of the following shows the first three places from the right in ...
The correct answer is option 'C', which represents the ones period.
Explanation:
A 5-digit number is composed of five different periods, each representing a specific place value. The periods are:
- Ones period: The first digit from the right
- Tens period: The second digit from the right
- Hundreds period: The third digit from the right
- Thousands period: The fourth digit from the right
- Ten thousands period: The fifth digit from the right
For example, in the number 52,386, the ones period is 6, the tens period is 8, the hundreds period is 3, the thousands period is 2, and the ten thousands period is 5.
Therefore, when asked to find the first three places from the right in a 5-digit number, we are looking for the ones, tens and hundreds periods. Option 'C' correctly identifies the ones period as the first of these three places.
