Answer:

No Maria is not correct.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Maria said the 4 in 400,000 has a value of 400.

To find : Is maria correct? Explain.

Solution :

The place value system is

Hundred Th.   Ten Th.   Thousand     Hundred   Tens    Ones

        4               0                0                  0             0        0

The value of 4 in 400,000 $4\times 100000$
