Answer:


(1)/(10)\text{ times}

Explanation:

Given,

The numbers are,

4,385, 3,899

∵ 4385 = 4000 + 300 + 80 + 5

And, 3899 = 3000 + 800 + 90 + 9

So, the value of 3 in 4385 = 300

The value of 3 in 3899 = 3000


\because \frac{\text{The value of 3 in 4385}}{\text{The value of 3 in 3899}}=(300)/(3000)


=(1)/(10)

Hence, the value of 3 in 4,385 is
(1)/(10) times greater than the value of the 3 in 3,899.
