Question

If Olivia lives in a town with a population of 72,925.how many times greater is the value of the 2 in the thousands place than the value of the 2 in the tens place

Answer 1

The 2 in the thousands place is equal to 2,000.

The 2 in the tens place is equal to 20.

2,000 / 20 = 100

So the 2 in the thousands place is 100 times greater than the 2 in the tens place.

Answer 2

100 time greater. The 2 in the thousands place is 2,000 and the 2 in the tens place is 20. If you divide 2,000 by 20 you get 100. So it is 100 times greater.
