Question

in the number 550,is the value of the 5 in the tens place ten times greater than the value of the 5 in the hundreds place? explain why or why not

Answer 1

No it is not.

In the number 550, the value of the tens would be 50, while the hundreds place is 500

So actually the value of the 5 in the tens place is ten times less than the value of the 5 in the hundreds place.

(Note: 550 = 500 + 50)
