Final answer:

In the numbers 56,981 and 33,801, the value of 8 in the first number is 10 times the value of 8 in the second number because it is in the thousands place versus the hundreds place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the 8 in the first number 56,981 is 1,000 times the value of the 8 in the second number 33,801. This is because in the first number, the 8 is in the thousands place, while in the second number, the 8 is in the hundreds place. To find out how many times greater the value is, we compare the places of the two numbers:

  • The 8 in 56,981 represents 8,000 (eight thousand).
  • The 8 in 33,801 represents 800 (eight hundred).

So, 8,000 is 10 times greater than 800, and the answer to how many times the value of the 8 in the first number is compared to the second is 10 times greater.
