Answer 1

Answer:

The value of 7 in 14.837 is 0.1 times the value of 7 in 2.27.

The position of the numbers need to be allotted first.

In case of 14.837-------> 1 is in the tenth place whereas 4 is in the ones place( before the decimal point).

8 is in the tenth, 3 is in the hundredth and 7 in the thousandth place respectively.

Towards the left of a decimal point--> As we move towards the left of a number, every place gets bigger by 10 times.

Towards the right of the decimal point--> As we move towards the right, every place gets smaller by 10 times.
