Question

Item 5 In the number 7.7592, how does the value of the 7 in the ones place compare to the value of the 7 in the tenths place? Drag and drop a fraction into the box to correctly complete the statement. The value of the 7 in the ones place is Response area the value of the 7 in the tenths place.

Answer 1

100 times

Explanation:

Given the decimal number 7.7592

The value of the 7 in the ones place is 7 tens i.e 10

The value of 7 in the tenths place is 7 tenth i.e 7/10 = 7 * 1/10. The value of 7 in the tenths place is 1/10 = 0.1

Comparing both values

We will compare both values by finding their ratios as shown;

ratio = value of the 7 in the ones place/value of the 7 in the tenth place

ratio = 10/0.1

ratio = 100

Since the ratio is 100, this means that "the value of the 7 in the ones place is 100 times the value of the 7 in the tenths place"

Answer 2

100 times

Explanation:

Given the decimal number 7.7592

The value of the 7 in the ones place is 7 tens i.e 10

The value of 7 in the tenths place is 7 tenth i.e 7/10 = 7 * 1/10. The value of 7 in the tenths place is 1/10 = 0.1

Comparing both values

We will compare both values by finding their ratios as shown;

ratio = value of the 7 in the ones place/value of the 7 in the tenth place

ratio = 10/0.1

ratio = 100

Since the ratio is 100, this means that "the value of the 7 in the ones place is 100 times the value of the 7 in the tenths place"
