Question

Vin says, In 4,346, one 4 is 10 times as great as the other 4. Is Vin correct?

Answer 1

No, Vin is not correct because one 4 represents 4000 and one 4 represents 40. If you do 4000 divided by 40, it equals 100.

Answer 2

Answer: Hello there!

In 4346, the first four represents the 4000 (because is in the thousands place), and the second four represents 40 (because is in the tens place).

If we divide 4000 by 40 we got:

4000/40 = 100

this means that the first four is 100 times as great as the second four.

Then Vin is incorrect.
