Bridget ungrouped 5,000 as shown. 5,000-2896=. Use your understanding of place value to explain how the ungrouped number is equal to 5,000.

1000

Because the number is already rounded and followed by all zero's.

To explain how the ungrouped number is equal to 5,000, we need to understand place value. In our decimal number system, each digit's value is determined by its position. Starting from the rightmost digit, the place values increase by powers of 10 (1, 10, 100, 1000, and so on).

Let's analyze the subtraction equation: 5,000 - 2896.

In 5,000, the digit '5' is in the thousands place. This means the '5' represents 5 sets of 1000. As a result, we have 5,000.

When Bridget ungrouped 5,000, it means she separated it into individual units. In other words, she removed the grouping of thousands.

So, she took the 5 sets of 1000 and separated them, making it equivalent to 5,000 individual units or non-grouped digits.

Therefore, the ungrouped number is equal to 5,000.
