Question

an athlete completes a race in 55.72 seconds how many times greater is the digit in the tens place than the digit in the ones place

Answer 1

7 is 5 greater than the 2

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of digit in tens place is 10 times greater than the value of digit in ones place.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the value of digit in tens place be x times the value of digit in ones place.

We are asked to find the value of the digit in the tenths place is how many times as much as the value of the digit in the thousandths place.

55.72

Ones: 5

Tens: 5

$\text{5-ones}=5$

$\text{5-tens}=5\times 10=50$

$x\cdot\text{Ones-digit}=\text{Tens-digit}$

$x\cdot5=50$

$\frac{x\cdot5}{5}=\frac{50}{5}$

$x=10$

Therefore, the value of the digit in the tens place is 10 times greater than the value of the digit in the ones place.
