Final answer:
The value of the digit 3 in the number 942,301 is 3,000. To make a number where the value of 3 is ten times greater, we place it in the ten thousands place, resulting in the number 9,000, where the digit 3 would value 30,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to write a number in which the value of the digit 3 is 10 times as much as the value of 3 in 942,301. In the number 942,301, the digit 3 is in the thousands place, so it has a value of 3,000. To make the value 10 times as much, we need the digit 3 to be in the ten thousands place.
Thus, the number that would make the value of 3 ten times greater than 3,000 is 30,000. Therefore, looking at our options:
- A. 900,000 is not correct because the digit 3 is not used at all.
- B. 300,000 is not correct because the digit 3 holds the value of three hundred thousand, which is too large.
- C. 90,000 has no digit 3 either.
- D. 9,000 is the correct answer since the digit 3 would replace the 9 and value it 30,000, which is 10 times 3,000.
