Question

How does the value of the digit 8 in 1.8 compare to the value of the digit 8 in 486?

Answer 1

see the procedure

Explanation:

we know that

`1.8=1+0.8`

`486=400+80+6`

so

The value of digit 8 in 1.8 is 0.8

The value of digit 8 in 486 is 80

Divide the numbers

80/0.8=100

therefore

The value of the digit 8 in 486 is 100 times greater than the value of digit 8 in 1.8

or

The value of the digit 8 in 1.8 is 100 times less than the value of digit 8 in 486
