Jackson owes his sister Monica $15. Monica has a $10 bill in her pocket. Explain the meaning of zero in this situation .?
The zero is in the one place, so Monica has 10 dollars while her brother owes her 15$.
Answer:
Jackson owes his sister Monica $15. Monica has a $10 bill in her pocket.
We only have one zero, here which is in $10.
We can say that the zero is the place holder for showing the value of 1. 1 with 0 makes 10 dollars.
If there was no zero, then Monica would have only $1 in her pocket.
But by adding a 0 in the one's place and shifting the 1 to tens place, we get a value of 10.
