Answer: 15,700 is 1/10 of 157,000 (A)

Explanation:

The relationship between 15,700 and 157,000 is that 15,700 is 1/10 of 157,000

1/10 × 157,000 = 15,700

A 15,700 is 1/10 of 157,000

= 1/10 × 157,000

= 15700 (Correct)

15700 equals 15700

B 157,000 is 1/10 of 15,700

= 1/10 × 15700 = 1570 (Wrong)

1570 is not equal to 157000

C 15,700 is 1/100 of 157,000

= 1/100 × 157,000 = 1570 (Wrong)

1570 is not equal to 15700

D 157,000 is 1/100 of 15,700

1/100 × 15700 = 157 (Wrong)

157 is not equal to 157000
