Question

Maya says that value of the 6 in 0.006 is 1/10 of the value of the 6 in 0.6 . Is she correct? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Maya is NOT correct  as

$\frac{1}{1000}$ is  1/100 of the value $\frac{1}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of 6 in 0.006 = $\frac{1}{1000}$

Also, the value of 6 in 0.6  = $\frac{1}{10}$

But, $\frac{1}{1000}$ is not 1/10  of the value  $\frac{1}{10}$

as 1/10  of the value  $\frac{1}{10}$  =  $\frac{1}{100}$

Hence,Maya is NOT correct.

$\frac{1}{1000}$ is  1/100 of the value $\frac{1}{10}$
