Question

frank reasoned that in the number 0.555, the valueof the 5 in the thousandths place is ten times the value of the 5 in the hundredths place. is he correct? explain

Answer 1

The reasoning of Frank is not correct. The value of 5 is the thousandths place is 1/10 times the value of 5 in the hundredths place instead of being 10 times.

In the question, we are given the number 0.555.

We can write it as:-

0.555 = 0.500 + 0.050 + 0.005

0.500 is the value of tenths place

0.050 is the value of hundredths place

0.005 is the value of thousandths place

We know that,

0.050*(1/10) = 0.050/10 = 0.005

Hence, the value of 5 is the thousandths place is 1/10 times the value of 5 in the hundredths place.
