Question

How many times greater is the value of the 7 in 874,699 than the value of

the 7 in 87,469?
A. 1,000 times greater.
B. 100 times greater.
C. 10 times greater.
D. Both have the same value.

Answer 1

C. 10 times greater

Explanation:

every time you move left a number space, the value increases by a multiple of 10x (the opposite is true for moving right)

for example:

1.0

10.0

100.0

10 is 10x greater than 1

100 is 10x greater than 10 or 100x greater than 1

*notice how the number 1 is moving one space to the left
