Question

a number has the same digit in its hundreds place and its hundredths place. How many times greater is the value of the digit in the hundreds place than the value of the digit in the hundreths place?

Answer 1

The value in the hundreds place is 10,000 times greater than the value in the hundredths place

Explanation:

Here, we have a digit having same numbers at the hundred and hundredth position.

Now, we want to know how many times greater is the value in the hundred position compared to the value in the hundredth position.

Let’s have the number as follows; Kindly note that we can use any number, we should just make sure that the value at the hundred position is same as that as in the hundredth position.

We should also not make any mistakes identifying the 100 and 100th position

A perfect example for this is below;

768.57

7 is the hundredth position and also on the hundred position.

The value of 7 in the hundred position is 700 while the value of 7 in the hundredth position is 0.07

Now we want to know how many times is 700 greater than 0.07

That would be 700/0.07 = 10,000
