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.

You can check this by multiplying 20 by 100, which gets 2,000, so this is correct.
