Answer: 9 times less.
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of 3 in 1,234 is 30.
The value of 3 in 1,314 is 300.
The question asks how many times less is the value of 3 in 1,234 than the value of 3 in 1,314.
So to find how many times less it is, first we divide.
300 ÷ 30 = 10
The value of 3 in 1,234 is 1/10th of the value of 3 in 1,314, which means that the value of 3 in 1,234 is 9 times less than the value of 3 in 1,314.
To explain, if you took the value of 3 in 1,234 (which is 30), and multiplied it by 9 (making it 270), that number would be the difference.
So 300(the value of 3 in 1,314) - 270(The difference) = 30(The value of 3 in 1,234)
