Given: In 1934, there was an extreme drought in the Great Plains. In the number 1,934, is the value of the 9 in the hundreds place ten times as great as the value of the 3 in the tens place.
Required: Explanation for this.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move to the right, the value becomes 10 times.
For units place, it is 1.
For tens place, it is 10 = 1 × 10
For hunderedths place is it 100 = 10 × 10.
So it is becoming ten times with every step.
In 1934, 3 is in tens (10) place, and 9 is in hundredth (100) place.
So 100 = 10 × 10.
Thus, the value of the 9 in the hundreds place ten times as great as the value of the 3 in the tens place.
Final Anwer: The value of the 9 in the hundreds place ten times as great as the value of the 3 in the tens place.
