Question

Look at the numbers

in the table.
375,595
545,150
378,658

Which number has one digit that
represents ten times the value of the
digit to its right? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: 375,595 (choice A)

Reason:

We're looking for repeated digits next to each other. Of the answer choices, that only occurs in the value 375,595. This is where we have two "5"s together.

The first time we see "5" show up, it's in the thousands place value. Just to the right of this is another copy of "5" in the hundreds place value.

The first "5" represents 5000. The second "5" represents 500.

The jump from 500 to 5000 is "times 10".
