Question

Is the value of the first 4 in 4043 ten times as great as the second 4? Why or why not?

Answer 1

It is not.You can take the first 4 and times (x) it by 10 and you would get 40. well if you do the same thing but multiply it 10 times greater then the first number (10 x 10= 100) then you take that number (which would be 100) then times it by 4 then you would get 400.

Answer 2

No, the first 4 is 100 times as great as the second 4

Explanation:

The first 4 is in the thousands place. Its value is 4000. The second 4 is in the tens place. Its value is 40. 10 times 40 is equal to 400 and 100 times 40 is equal to 4000. When digits are two places apart, the value of the first digit is 100 times the value of the second digit.
