in the number 2,145,857 how does the 5 in the thousands and place compare to the five in the tens place
The five in the thousands place has greater value that the one in the tens place because the five in the thousands place is 5,000 and the 5 in the tens place is 50
we have
\(2,145,857\)
we know that
the number in expanded form is equal to
\(2,145,857=2*(1,000,000)+1*(100.000)+4*(10,000)+5*(1,000)+8*(100)+5*(10)+7*(1)\)
So
the digit \(5\) in the thousands place is equal to
\(5*(1,000)=5,000\)
and
the digit \(5\) in the tens place is equal to
\(5*(10)=50\)
\(\frac{5,000}{50} =100\)
therefore
the answer is
It is \(100\) times greater
