Question

In the number 53.436 how many times is the place value of the digit tree to the right of digit four to that of the digit 3 to the left of the digit 4

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The digit 3 in the Ones place is 1 place to the left of the digit 4, which is in the tenths place. The digit 3 to the right of the digit 4, is in the hundredths place. You would have to multiply the digit 3 in the hundredths place by 10 two times to get it to the place the 3 in the Ones place is in. So, (0.03 X 10) X10 = 3

3 hundredths X 10 = 3 tenths = 0.3

3 tenths X 10 = 3 Ones = 3

3 hundredths is 100 times less than 3.

It also works the opposite way.

3 Ones / 10 = 3 tenths = 0.3

3 tenths / 10 = 3 hundredths = 0.03

3 Ones are 100 times larger than 3 hundredths.
