Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{10}$

Cost of the toy car = $9526
Oil consumption = 245 gallons

Writing the values in a place value chart, we get:


Place value of 2 in 9526 = 20
Place value of 2 in 245 = 200

We can see that
200 $\times$ $\frac{1}{10}$ = 20

So, the place value of 2 in 9526 is $\frac{1}{10}$ of the place value of 2 in 245.
