How many times greater

Question

How many times greater is the 3 in 43201.4 than the 3 in 9760.823?

Answer 1

We look at the place value of the digit 3 in each number.

 

The first number, we have  3000 (three-thousand).

The second number, we have 0.003 (three-thousandths).

 

Just divide 3000 by 0.003 to find out how many times it is greater.
