In 1934, there was an extreme drought in the Great Plains. In the number 1934, is the value of the 9 in the hundreds place ten times the value of the 3 in the tens place?
No the value of the 9 in the hundreds place is not ten times the value of the 3 in the tens place. The value of the 3 is 30 and 30 times ten is not 900.
Answer:
No, the value of the 9 in the hundreds place is not ten times the value of the 3 in the tens place.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given number,
1934
We can write,
1934 = 1000 + 900 + 30 + 4
So, the value of 9 = 900 ( place value )
And, the value of 3 = 30
\(\because \frac{\text{Value of 9}}{\text{Value of 3}}=\frac{900}{30}\)
\(=\frac{30}{1}\)
\(\implies \text{Value of 9}=30\times \text{Value of 3}\)
Hence, the value of the 9 in the hundreds place is 30 times the value of the 3 in the tens place.
i.e. the given statement is not true.
