Question

Mr. Roy is comparing sales of cars as follows:
April: 23850
May: 14230

The place value of 3 in 23850 is times the place value of 3 in 14230.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D 100

Sales done in April = 23850
Sales done in May = 14230

Let us find the relation between the numbers through a place value chart.


The place value of 3 in 23850 is 3000.
The place value of 3 in 14230 is 30.

We know,
30 $\times$ 100 = 3000

Thus, the place value of 3 in 23850 is 100 times the place value of 3 in 14230.
