Question

(Will give 1,000 points!) Look at the two 3s in this number:

Answer 1

The only true statement is "the orange 3 on the right is 1/10 of the value of the blue 3 on the left"

This question bothers on place values.

Given the decimal value 89.033, the place value of the blue 3 on the left is the hundredth place (1/100) while the place value of the orange 3 is in the thousandth place(1/1000).

We need to check which of the statement is correct.

For the first option, the blue 3 on the left is 300 times the value of the orange 3 on the right;

• 1/100 = 300(1/1000)

• 1/100 = 3/10

Since 0.01≠0.3, hence the first option is wrong

For the second option, the blue 3 on the left is 100 times the value of the orange 3 on the right;

• 1/100 = 100(1/1000)

• 1/100 = 1/10

0.01≠0.1, hence the second option is wrong.

The blue 3 on the left is equivalent to the orange 3 on the right is also wrong since they are positioned in a different place

The orange 3 on the right is 1/10 of the value of the blue 3 on the left, is expressed as;

• 1/1000 = 1/10(1/100)

• 0.001 = 0.001

Hence the only true statement is "the orange 3 on the right is 1/10 of the value of the blue 3 on the left"
