Certainly! Let's break down the problem step-by-step:
1. Identify the values of different places in the number:
- Units place (ones): 8
- Tens place: 9 times 10
- Hundreds place: 3 times 100
- Thousands place: 20 times 1000
2. Calculate each place value:
- Ones: [tex]\( 8 \)[/tex]
- Tens: [tex]\( 9 \times 10 = 90 \)[/tex]
- Hundreds: [tex]\( 3 \times 100 = 300 \)[/tex]
- Thousands: [tex]\( 20 \times 1000 = 20,000 \)[/tex]
3. Add all the place values together:
- Summing these, you get:
[tex]\[
8 + 90 + 300 + 20,000 = 20,398
\][/tex]
4. Conclusion:
- The number that corresponds to 8 ones + 9 tens + 3 hundreds + 20 thousands is [tex]\( 20,398 \)[/tex].
Therefore, the correct option from the given choices is:
B. 20,398
