Math Problem Statement

How do the values of the 8s compare in this number?

Solution

The problem is asking to compare the values of the two 8s in the number shown in the table.

In the Thousands Period, the 8s are located in:

  • Hundreds place: This 8 represents 800 (8 × 100).
  • Tens place: This 8 represents 80 (8 × 10).

Thus, the value of the 8 in the hundreds place is 800, and the value of the 8 in the tens place is 80. Comparing them, the 8 in the hundreds place is ten times larger than the 8 in the tens place.

Would you like a deeper explanation or have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:

  1. How much larger is the 8 in the hundreds place compared to the 8 in the tens place?
  2. What is the total value of the two 8s combined?
  3. If the digit in the hundreds place was 7 instead of 8, what would the total value be?
  4. What is the value of the 5 in this number?
  5. How does the value of the 2 in the ones period compare to the value of the 8s?

Tip: When comparing digits in a number, always consider their place value, as each position (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.) increases by a factor of 10.
