Question

Amir Said that the value in the hundredth place of 135.99 is 10 times as much as the value of 9 in the tenths place is Aimr statment correct. why??

Answer 1

Answer:

No, he is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the number is,

135.99

We can write,

$135.99 = 100+30+5+\frac{9}{10}+\frac{9}{100}$

Thus, the place value of first 9 or 9 at the tenth place = $\frac{9}{10}$

While, the place value of first 9 or 9 at the hundred place = $\frac{9}{100}$

$\frac{\text{value of 9 at the hundredth place}}{\text{value of 9 at the tenth place}}=\frac{9/100}{9/10}=\frac{90}{900}=\fra{1}{10}$

$\implies \text{value of 9 at the hundredth place}=\frac{1}{10}\times \text{value of 9 at the tenth place}$

Hence, he is not correct.

Answer 2

Amir is incorrect. This is because 0.09 is 1/10 of 0.9 You can see this on a place value chart. Thousands, Hundreds, ones, tenths, and hundredths. Place down the values to see which one is greater. It is the 9 in the tenths place. 135.9. The tenths place is closer to the wholes than the hundredths place.
