Question

for the decimal 0.555 the value of the digit in the tens place is how many times as much as the value of the digit in the thousands place

Answer 1

The value of the digit in the tens place is 100 times as much as the value of the digit in the thousands place.

Answer 2

10 times.

Explanation:

Let the value of digit in tenths place be x times of value of digit in thousandths place.

We are asked to find the value of the digit in the tenths place is how many times as much as the value of the digit in the thousandths place.

0.555

Tenths: 5

Thousandths: 5

`\text{Five tenths}=0.5=(5)/(10)`

`\text{Five thousandths}=0.05=(5)/(100)`

`(5)/(100)\cdot x=(5)/(10)`

`(100)/(5)*(5)/(100)\cdot x=(5)/(10)*(100)/(5)`

`x=10`

Therefore, the value of the digit in the tenths place is 10 times as much as the value of the digit in the thousandths place.
