Higher Order ThinkingIn 448,244, how is the relationship between the first pair of 4s the same as the relationship between the second pair of 4s?4 grade studentLesson place value relationship

Answer 1

In the number 44,244, we can see two pairs of 4's.

The first pair (to the left) has a higher value than the second pair to the right, but the 4's have something in common: The leftmost 4 is ten times as high as the rightmost 4.

For this reason, we start the number as forty-four thousand and end up with forty-four.
