Question

Bob said 4x500=200 explain his error using place value

Answer 1

Hello;

4 x 500 = 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 = 1000 + 1000 = 2000

you want 1000 => 2000/2 = 1000

(4 x 500)/2 = 2 x 500 = 500 + 500 = 1000

not 4 x 500 but 2 x 500

Answer 2

The answer is 2000

Explanation:

The 2 means hundred and the two zeroes mean tens and ones if he added a zero at the end it would be 2000 making the 2 to be a thousand which is the correct answer.
