The image shows a
place value chart that helps us understand the value of each digit in a number based on its position. Let's analyze what’s given and solve the problem.

🔍 Step 1: Understand the Chart
The chart has columns for different place values, both whole numbers and decimals:
| Millions | Hundred Thousands | Ten Thousands | Thousands | Hundreds | Tens | Ones | Tenths (1/10) | Hundredths (1/100) | Thousandths (1/1000) |
|----------|-------------------|---------------|-----------|----------|------|------|----------------|---------------------|-----------------------|
| M | HTh | TTh | T | H | T | O | • | 1/10 | 1/100 | 1/1000 |
And the digits are filled in as:
-
Ones (O): 5
-
Tenths (1/10): 7
-
Hundredths (1/100): 9
-
Thousandths (1/1000): 3
All other places (Millions to Hundreds, Tens) are blank.

🔢 Step 2: Write the Number
We only have digits in the
Ones,
Tenths,
Hundredths, and
Thousandths places.
So, let's build the number:
-
Ones: 5 → This is the whole number part.
-
Tenths: 7 → 7 × 0.1 = 0.7
-
Hundredths: 9 → 9 × 0.01 = 0.09
-
Thousandths: 3 → 3 × 0.001 = 0.003
Now add them up:
$$
5 + 0.7 + 0.09 + 0.003 = 5.793
$$

✔ Final Answer:
$$
\boxed{5.793}
$$
This is the number represented in the place value chart.

📝 Explanation:
- The
decimal point is between the
Ones and
Tenths columns.
- Digits to the
left of the decimal represent
whole numbers.
- Digits to the
right represent
fractions of a whole (tenths, hundredths, thousandths).
- Since no digits are filled in higher places (like Tens, Hundreds, etc.), we assume they are zero.
Thus, the complete number is
5.793.
