Question

in which number is the value of the 2 ten times the value of the 2 in 37.632? a. 207.6 b. 37.62 c. 37.206 d. 27.63

Explanation:

Step1: Locate 2 in 37.632

In 37.632, the 2 is in the thousandths place, so its value is $2 \times 10^{-3} = 0.002$.

Step2: Calculate target value

We need a value 10 times this: $10 \times 0.002 = 0.02$.

Step3: Find 2 with value 0.02

A value of 0.02 means the 2 is in the hundredths place.

• A. 207.6: 2 is in hundreds place ($200$) → no
• B. 37.62: 2 is in hundredths place ($0.02$) → matches
• C. 37.206: 2 is in tenths place ($0.2$) → no
• D. 27.63: 2 is in tens place ($20$) → no

Answer:

A. 207.6
