Question

in the number 2,145,857 how does the 5 in the thousands and place compare to the five in the tens place

Answer 1

The five in the thousands place has greater value that the one in the tens place because the five in the thousands place is 5,000 and the 5 in the tens place is 50

Answer 2

we have

`2,145,857`

we know that

the number in expanded form is equal to

`2,145,857=2*(1,000,000)+1*(100.000)+4*(10,000)+5*(1,000)+8*(100)+5*(10)+7*(1)`

So

the digit
`5` in the thousands place is equal to

`5*(1,000)=5,000`

and

the digit
`5` in the tens place is equal to

`5*(10)=50`

`(5,000)/(50) =100`

therefore

the answer is

It is
`100` times greater
