Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

They are truly both right.

Maya says there are 4 hundreds in 5,467. This is right because the place value of 4 in 5467 is 4 hundreds = 400.

Jenny says there are 54 hundreds in 5,467. This is also correct as well. The number 5467 in words is five thousand four hundred and sixty seven. 54 hundreds equals = 54 × 100 = 5400

The place value of 5 is 5000.

The place value of 4 is 400

Addition of both gives = 5000 + 400 = 5400

If we divide 5400 by 100, we would have 54. It shows that there are 54 hundreds.

Both are correct
