Answer:

1000

Explanation:

To find the value of the digit 9 in each number, set the other digits to 0.

900.00 in the number 2935.88

0.90 in the number 12.92

The ratio of these values is ...

900/0.9 = 9000/9 = 1000

The value of 9 in the first number is 1000 times the value of 9 in the second number. (Moving the digit 3 places to the left multiplies its value by 10^3 = 1000.)
