e. In which number below does the \( \mathbf{5} \) have a value of 5 hundred thousands? \( \begin{array}{ll}\text { A. } 9,504,213.8 & \text { B. } 54,039.218 \\ \text { C. } 316,924.05 & \text { D. } 28,516.097\end{array} \)

The \( \mathbf{5} \) has a value of 5 hundred thousands in option A: 9,504,213.8. Here, the \( \mathbf{5} \) is located in the sixth position from the right, which represents 500,000. To break it down, remember that each digit in a number has a place value that increases by a power of 10 as you move left. The digits represent: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, and so forth. Pay attention to these positions when determining the value of digits within larger numbers!
