Question

In the number 3355 how many times greater is the 3 on the left than the 3 on the right

Answer 1

9 times

Explanation:

Given

`Number = 3355`

Required

Determine how many times, the 3 on the left is greater than that on the right

`Number = 3355`

First, we need to determine the value of the three on the left

To get its value, we have to change all other digits to 0. This gives

`Left\ 3 = 3000`

Next, we need to determine the value of the three on the righy

Similarly, we have to change all other digits to 0. This gives

`Right\ 3 = 0300`

`Right\ 3 = 300`

Next, we calculate the positive difference between these two values and divide by the value of the Right 3

`Result = (Left\ 3 - Right\ 3)/(Right\ 3)`

`Result= (3000 - 300)/(300)`

`Result= (2700)/(300)`

`Result = 9`

Hence, the left 3 is 9 times greater than the right 3
