We are given statement 3.59 > 3.5__1 >3.572.
We have a blank space in between 5 and 1 in the middle number given.
Given statement ccan be read as :
3.59 is greater than 3.5__1 is greater than 3.572.
So, we need to check a number that is less than 3.59 but less than 3.572.
The hundredth place of 3.59 number is 9 and
hundredth place of 3.572 number is 7.
So, we need to find a number between 7 and 9.
8 is the number in between 7 and 9.
So, the known digit can be replaced by 8 to make the statement true.
And final statement is 3.59 > 3.581 >3.572.
I'm assuming you meant 1.5 × 10⁴. Remember, when we write in standard form, you need to use ^ to denote it's 'to the power of'. So it would be 1.5 × 10^4.
I'm also assuming you meant in decimal form, because that's already in standard form.
However, the answer is 15,000. This is because you lose one zero when multiplying a decimal with one number after it. For each number after the decimal, you take off a zero. Therefore, the end number is 15,000.
