Final answer:
The value of 3 in 1341 is 10 times less than its value in 3,1234, because in the first case, 3 represents 3,000, and in the second case, 3 represents 300. Division of 3,000 by 300 results in 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to compare the value of the digit 3 in two different numbers, specifically how many times less the value of 3 in 1341 is compared to its value in 3,1234. In the number 3,1234, the digit 3 is in the thousands place, giving it a value of 3,000. In the number 1341, the digit 3 is in the hundreds place, giving it a value of 300.
To find out how many times less 300 is than 3,000, we divide 3,000 by 300, which equals 10. Therefore, the value of 3 in 1341 is 10 times less than the value of 3 in 3,1234.
Thus, none of the provided options (a-d) are correct.
