Question

Explain how you can use place value patterns to describe 50 and 5000 compare

Answer 1

=> 50 and 5000
Place value is very useful to compare given numbers. Place value gives ideas on how big the number is and helps you compare easily what is greater and lesser.

Let’s use the given number:
50 => 50 has 2 digits whole number, which means it has a place value of tens
=> 5 tens and 0 ones.

5000 => is a 4 digit whole number, which means it as a place value of 5000
=> 5 thousand 0 hundreds, 0 tens, and 0 ones.

5000 is 100 times greater than 50.
=> 50 x 100 = 5000
