How many times greater is a 7 in ten thousands place than a 7 in the hundreds place? Choose the number that is shown in expanded form: 700,000 + 20,000 + 80 + 3
Understand the Problem
The first question is asking how many times greater a digit in the ten-thousands place is compared to a digit in the hundreds place. The second question asks for the numerical value of an expression presented in expanded form.
Answer
1. $100$; 2. $720,083$
Answer for screen readers
-
The answer is $100$.
-
For the expanded form, the answer is $720,083$ (option C).
Steps to Solve
- Identify Place Values
A digit in the ten-thousands place is worth $10,000$ times the digit, and a digit in the hundreds place is worth $100$ times the digit.
- Calculate the Difference in Value
To determine how many times greater a $7$ in the ten-thousands place is compared to a $7$ in the hundreds place, compare their values:
- Value of $7$ in ten-thousands place: $$ 7 \times 10,000 = 70,000 $$
- Value of $7$ in hundreds place: $$ 7 \times 100 = 700 $$
- Find the Ratio
To find how many times greater the ten-thousands place is than the hundreds place, divide the two values: $$ \frac{70,000}{700} = 100 $$
- Evaluate the Expanded Form Expression
For the expression $700,000 + 20,000 + 80 + 3$, simply add the values:
- $700,000 + 20,000 + 80 + 3 = 720,083$
-
The answer is $100$.
-
For the expanded form, the answer is $720,083$ (option C).
More Information
The ten-thousands place is 100 times greater than the hundreds place. The expanded form $700,000 + 20,000 + 80 + 3$ corresponds to the numerical value $720,083$.
Tips
- Confusing the place values can lead to incorrect calculations. Ensure you understand that ten-thousands is $10,000$ and hundreds is $100$.
- When calculating the expanded form, forget to include all components, which could lead to an incorrect total.
