Question

in the number 772 is the value of the 7 in the tens place 10 times greater than the value of the 7 in the hundreds place? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

The value of the 7 in the tens place in the number 772 is greater than the 7 in the hundreds place because it is a positive number, and is NOT a decimal. Think of it this way:

7 in the hundreds place = 700

7 in the tens place = 070

Look at where the 7 in the tens place is. A zero is in front of it.
