Question

The value of the 5 in 634,952 is times the value of the 5 in 43,597

Answer 1

Answer:

  C.  1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of a digit in a number, set all the other digits to zero.

  The value of the 5 in 634,952 is 000,050 = 50.

  The value of the 5 in 43,597 is 00,500 = 500.

We want to find the multiplier k such that ...

  50 = k×500 . . . . . . . 50 is "k" times 500

Divide by 500 to see ...

  50/500 = k = 1/10

The value of 5 in the first number is 1/10 times the value of 5 in the second number.
