Question

Maya says that value of the 6 in 0.006 is 1/10 of the value of the 6 in 0.6 . Is she correct? Explain

Answer 1

Maya is NOT correct as

`(1)/(1000)` is 1/100 of the value
`(1)/(10)`

Explanation:

The value of 6 in 0.006 =
`(1)/(1000)`

Also, the value of 6 in 0.6 =
`(1)/(10)`

But,
`(1)/(1000)` is not 1/10 of the value
`(1)/(10)`

as 1/10 of the value
`(1)/(10)` =
`(1)/(100)`

Hence,Maya is NOT correct.

`(1)/(1000)` is 1/100 of the value
`(1)/(10)`
