Question

The given image shows the amount of water in Tank A and Tank B.


Which of the following statements is correct?

• A. None of the above.
• B. The place value of 5 in 52341 is 100 times the place value of 4 in 43271.
• C. The place value of 5 in 52341 is 10 times the place value of 4 in 43271.
• D. The place value of 3 in 43271 is 10 times the place value of 3 in 52341.

Answer 1

The correct option is D The place value of 3 in 43271 is 10 times the place value of 3 in 52341.

52341 L and 43271 L are the two quantities of water in the water tanks.


Option A:
The value of 3 in 52341 is 3 ×$\frac{1}{10}$ .
The value of 3 in 43271 is 3.
So, 3 is 10 times bigger than $\frac{3}{10}$.
Hence, the place value of 3 in 43271 is 10 times the place value of 3 in 52341. Hence, option A is correct.

Option B: The place value of 5 in 52341 is 5 × 10000
The place value of 4 in 43271 is 4 × 10000

Hence, the statements “The place value of 5 in 52341 is 100 times the place value of 4 in 43271”and “The place value of 5 in 52341 is 10 times the place value of 4 in 43271” are incorrect.
