Math Problem Statement

Sienna wants to rearrange the digits in the number 1,258,072 so that the value of one of the digits is 10 times the value of another digit in her number. What number could she write? Justify your answer

Solution

To solve this, we need to rearrange the digits of 1,258,072 such that the value of one digit becomes 10 times the value of another digit.

Step 1: List the digits of the number

The digits in 1,258,072 are: 1,2,5,8,0,7,21, 2, 5, 8, 0, 7, 2

Step 2: Identify pairs where one digit is 10 times another

We are looking for pairs of digits where the value of one digit is 10 times the value of another digit.

The digit 1 can be 10 times 0 because: 1=10×01 = 10 \times 0

No other digits satisfy this condition.

Step 3: Rearrange the digits

To satisfy the condition, we can rearrange the digits in any order, keeping the numbers 1 and 0 in the number. One possible rearrangement of the digits is: 8,7,5,2,2,1,08, 7, 5, 2, 2, 1, 0

Thus, a number Sienna could write is 8752210.

Step 4: Justification

In the number 8752210, the digit 1 is 10 times the value of the digit 0, which satisfies the condition.
