Answer:

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

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

$\text{5-ones}=5$

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

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

$x\cdot5=50$

$(x\cdot5)/(5)=(50)/(5)$

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.
