Answers:

a. The 7 in the number labeled B is 1/10 the value of 7 in the number labeled A.

c. The 3 in the number labeled B is 10 times the value of 3 in the number labeled A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number A is 756.36, so each number has the following value:

7: 700

5: 50

6: 6

3: 0.3

6: 0.06

In the same way, number B is 973.98, so each number has the following value

9: 900

7: 70

3: 3

9: 0.9

8: 0.08

Then, for each option, we get:

a. Correct because number 7 in B has a value of 70 and 70 is 1/10 of 700, which is the value of 7 in A.

b. Incorrect, the value of 3 in A is 0.3 and the value in B is 3.

c. Correct, 3 is 10 times 0.3 because 0.3 x 10 = 3. Then, the value of 3 in B is 10 times the value of 3 in A.

d. Incorrect, because 3 is not 1/10 of 0.3

So, the answers are

a. The 7 in the number labeled B is 1/10 the value of 7 in the number labeled A.

c. The 3 in the number labeled B is 10 times the value of 3 in the number labeled A.
