Question

The value of a digit in the tens place is times the value of the same digit in the hundreds place .

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

Answer 1

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


$\text{The value of a place becomes}\frac{1}{10}\text{th}\text{with each place to its right.}$

$\text{The tens place is to the immediate right}\text{of the hundreds place.}$

$\text{So, to go from hundreds place to the}\text{tens place, we have to multiply by}\frac{1}{10}$

$\therefore \text{The value of a digit in the tens place}\text{is}\frac{1}{10}\text{times the value of the same digit}\text{in the hundreds place.}$
