Question

How many times as great as the value of 4 in 4670 is the value of 4 in 5040?

Answer 1

Here we have been asked to compare the place value of the digits in two different numbers.

It can be worked out as follows:

In the number 4670, 4 is at the 1000th place so the value of value of 4 in 4670 is 4000.

In the number 5040, 4 is at the 10th place so the value of value of 4 in 5040 is 40.

Here we can write
`(4000)/(40)=100`

It mean that

100 times as great as the value of 4 in 4670 is the value of 4 in 5040
