Question

Eric wrote the number 57,378 how many times greater is the value of the 7 in the thousands place than in the tens place

Answer 1

100 times greater.

Explanation:

57,378

The units digit is 8, and it's weight is:
`8 * 10^0`

The tenths digit is 7, and it's weight is:
`7 * 10^1`

The hundredths digit is 3, and it's weight is:
`3 * 10^2`

The thousands digit is 7, and it's weight is:
`7 * 10^3`

How many times greater?

We have to divide them, so:

`(7 * 10^3)/(7 * 10^1) = (10^3)/(10^1) = 10^2 = 100`

So 100 times greater.
