The correct answer is b. The value of the 3 in the circle is 10 times the value of the 3 in the square.
To determine the relationship between the two 3s, we need to consider the place value. The position of a digit in a number determines its value.
If the number in question is, for example, 3,456:
The digit 3 in the units place has a value of 3.
The digit 3 in the hundreds place has a value of 3×10=30.
So, in general, when you move one place to the left, the value of the digit becomes 10 times greater. In this case, the digit 3 in the circle is one place to the left of the digit 3 in the square. Therefore, the correct statement is:
The value of the 3 in the circle is 10 times the value of the 3 in the square.
So, the correct answer is b. The value of the 3 in the circle is 10 times the value of the 3 in the square.
