Question

use the place - value chart to help answer the question.
the place - value chart has two main sections: thousands (with sub - columns hundred thousands, ten thousands, thousands) and ones (with sub - columns hundreds, tens, ones). the first row of the chart has values 1 (hundred thousands), 4 (ten thousands), 0 (thousands), 3 (hundreds), 9 (tens), 5 (ones). the second row has values 2 (hundred thousands), 4 (ten thousands), 1 (thousands), 6 (hundreds), 3 (tens), 8 (ones).
the value of the 3 in 140,395 is how many times the value of the 3 in 241,638?

Explanation:

Step1: Find place value of 3 in 140,395

In 140,395, the 3 is in the hundreds place (from the place - value chart: Ones section, Hundreds column). The place value of a digit in the hundreds place is $3\times100 = 300$.

Step2: Find place value of 3 in 241,638

In 241,638, the 3 is in the tens place (from the place - value chart: Ones section, Tens column). The place value of a digit in the tens place is $3\times10=30$.

Step3: Calculate the ratio

To find how many times the value of the 3 in 140,395 is compared to the value of the 3 in 241,638, we divide the two place values. So we calculate $\frac{300}{30}$.
$300\div30 = 10$

Answer:

10
