Question

Describe the relationship between the values of the two 7s in the number 3,772 what equation could you use to help describe the relationship

Answer 1

y = 10x, which is the relationship between two 7 in the number 3772

Explanation:

In the given number 3772

3 is at thousandth position its value is 3000 numerically

7 is at the hundredth position its value is 700 numerically

next 7 is at tens position its value is 70 numerically

and 2 is at unit position its value is 2 numerically

thus, 3772 can also be written as sum of number based on its position

3000

+700

+ 70

+ 2

___-

= 3772

Thus,

since Third 7 from left has value of 70

and Second 7 from left has value of 700

we know 70*10 = 700

Thus, 70 is 10 times to that 700

Thus, we can say that

value of Second 7 from left = 10*value of Third 7 from left

Thus,

let value of Second 7 from left be y

value of Third 7 from left be x

then

y = 10x, which is the relationship between two 7 in the number 3772
