Question

The middle 5 in 0.555 is 1/10 the value of the 5 to its _____

Answer 1

Right. The first 5 is in the tenths place, the second five is in the hundredths, and the third one is in the thousandths. I'd like to think that if you take away (divide 1000 by ten) a tenth from the thousandths, that would leave you with the 5 in the middle being one tenth the value of the five to its right. (I'm not sure if this is correct or not, i'm just making an assumption). I would check with someone to make sure

Answer 2

Left

Explanation:

We are given that 0.555

We have to fill the correct value in the blank space

5 which is placed left side of middle 5 is at tenth place.

Therefore, the place value of this 5 =
`(5)/(10)`

Middle 5 is placed at hundredth place.

Therefore, the place value of middle 5 =
`(5)/(100)`

The place of 5 at right side of middle 5 is thousandth .

Therefore, the place value of this 5 =
`(5)/(1000)`

Therefore, middle 5 in 0.555 is
`(1)/(10)` the value of the 5 to its left.
