Math Problem Statement

Joseph says that in the number 9,999,999, all the digits have the same value. Is Joseph correct?

Solution

Let's analyze the math problems in the image you provided:

Question 13

"Write the population of Florida in expanded form using exponents."

  • The answer appears to be written as: (8×107)+(8×106)+(8×105)+(1×103)+(3×102)+(1×101)(8 \times 10^7) + (8 \times 10^6) + (8 \times 10^5) + (1 \times 10^3) + (3 \times 10^2) + (1 \times 10^1) This means the population is 88,831,32188,831,321. Each component represents a different place value written with exponents of 10.

Question 14

"Joseph says that in the number 9,999,999, all the digits have the same value. Is Joseph correct?"

  • The student's response is "No because each 9 has a different value."
    • The explanation is correct because although all digits are "9," their values differ based on their place value. For example:
      • The first "9" represents 9×1069 \times 10^6 (nine million),
      • The second "9" represents 9×1059 \times 10^5 (nine hundred thousand),
      • And so on, with each digit's value depending on its position in the number.

Would you like further details or clarification on any part of this explanation?

Here are 5 relative questions that expand on this:

  1. What does it mean to write a number in expanded form?
  2. How do you convert a number from expanded form back to standard form?
  3. Can you provide another example of writing a number using exponents in expanded form?
  4. What is place value, and why is it important in understanding large numbers?
  5. How would the expanded form of 9,999,999 look?

Tip:

When writing large numbers in expanded form, remember that each digit's value depends on both the digit and its position (place value).
