Question

What is the relationship between the values of the two 4s in 3.441

Answer 1

The first 4 (.4) is 10x bigger than the second 4 (.04)

Answer 2

Answer:

The given number is 3.441

The first 4 is in the tenth place that is written like $\frac{4}{10}$ or 0.4

The second 4 is in the hundredth place that is written like $\frac{4}{100}$ or 0.04

We can see that the second 4 is one tenth times the first 4. This is shown like = $\frac{1}{10} \times\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{100}$

Or we can say the opposite that the first 4 is ten times the second 4.
