Question

In 333, the value of 3 in the hundreds place is ____ times the value of 3 in the ones place.

• A. 10
• B. 100
• C. $\frac{1}{10}$
• D. $\frac{1}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B 100


Moving 1 place to the left means that the place value gets multiplied by 10.

So,
The place value of the hundreds place
$=10\times \text{place value of the tens place}$
$=10\times 10\times \text{place value of the ones place}$
$=100\times \text{place value of the ones place}$

∴ Place value of the 3 in the hundreds place is 100 times the place value of the 3 in the ones place.
