Question

Greg has collected 4,385 pennies and Hannah has collected 3,899 pennies. How many times as great as the value of 3 in 4,385 is the value of the 3 in 3,899?

Answer 1

Answer: The 3 in 3,899 is 10 times the 3 in 4,385!

Answer 2

`(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.
