Is it true that the 6 in 26.495 is 10 times the value of the 6 in 17.64

Answer 1

Yes because if you multiply 0.6 by 10, it would equal 6. So yes, the 6 in 26.495 IS 10 times the value of the 6 in 17.64.

Answer 2

Yup!  The 6 in 26.495 is in the ones place, whereas the 6 in 17.64 is in the tenths place.  One is equal to ten tenths, so the ones place has ten times the value.  Thus, the statement is true.
