Answer 1

The '5' in the thousands place of the number 15,598 is ten times greater than the '5' in the hundreds place. The value in the hundreds place is one-tenth the value in the thousands place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking about the place value of the digits in a number 15,598, specifically focusing on the value of '5' in different positions. In this number, the '5' in the thousands place represents 5,000, while the '5' in the hundreds place represents 500. Since our numbering system increases by powers of ten, each place is ten times greater than the place to its right. Therefore, the '5' in the thousands place is ten times greater than the '5' in the hundreds place.

So, the correct answer to the question on how the value represented by the 5 in the hundreds place compares with the value of the 5 in the thousands place is: B: The value in the hundreds place is one-tenth as much as the value in the thousands place.

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

5 in the hundreds place equals 500, but put in the thousands place equals 5,000 and that's 10 times larger than 500. Or as how answer B puts it, 500 is one-tenth as much as 5,000. Either way, it's the same thing
