Question

question 1
in 2009 the city of houston, texas, had a population of 2,257,926. (the rest of the problem is cut off)

Explanation:

The problem seems to be about place value in a number (the population number 2,257,926, likely asking about the place or value of the digit 5). But the question is cut off. Assuming it's about the place value of 5 in 2,257,926:

Step1: Identify digit positions

In a number, positions are (from right, starting at 0): units (0), tens (1), hundreds (2), thousands (3), ten - thousands (4), hundred - thousands (5), millions (6), etc. For the number 2,257,926, let's write it out: 2 (million place), 2 (hundred - thousand place), 5 (ten - thousand place), 7 (thousand place), 9 (hundred place), 2 (ten place), 6 (unit place).

Step2: Determine the value of 5

The digit 5 is in the ten - thousand place. The value of a digit in the ten - thousand place is the digit multiplied by \(10,000\). So \(5\times10,000 = 50,000\). (Or if it's about the place, the place is ten - thousand place)

Since the question is incomplete, if we assume it's asking for the place value (value) of 5:

Answer:

The value of the digit 5 in 2,257,926 is \(50,000\) (or if it's place, ten - thousand place)

If the original question was different (like place of 5), the answer would be ten - thousand place.
