Answer:

The correct answer is - the 9 in the tens place represents 1/10 times what the 9 to its left represents.

Explanation:

Given:

Number: 9999.999

We know: The tenth value is 9999.999 (in bold) and 9 to its left is underlined which is the 100th value.

Solution:

Place value of 9 on the tenth place

= 9*10= 90 ..... 1

Left place of the tenth is hundredth

Place value of 9 at the hundredth place

=9*100

=900 .... 2

comparing 1 to 2 by dividing

= 90/900

= 1/10th
