Answer: Ten times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's expand the number out fully

55,555 = 50,000 + 5,000 + 500 + 50 + 5

Then look at any pair of adjacent terms on the right hand side.

Let's say we focus on 500 and 50. The jump from 50 to 500 is "times 10", which shows that 500 is ten times that of 50.
