Question

What is the relationship between the 3's in the number 9,338?

Answer 1

The 3 in the hundreds place (value of 300) has a value that is 10x the 3 in the tens (value of 30).

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

The 3 on the left is 10 times the value of the 3 on the right.

Explanation:

The 3 on the left is in the hundreds place.  This makes its value 3(100) = 300.

The 3 on the right is in the tens place.  This makes its value 3(10) = 30.

300/30 = 10; this means the 3 in the hundreds place is 10 times the value of the 3 in the tens place.
