Question

How many times as great as the value of 3 in 4,310 is the value of 3 in 3,297?

Answer 1

How many times as great as the value of 3 in 4,310 is the value of 3 in 3,297?

For any problem like this, we are talking about place value. Each place, from left to right, is ten times greater than the previous place. For example

5 vs 50. the 5 in the ones place is only equal to 5, but by moving the 5 to the tens place, the value becomes ten times greater.

You can also work backward. For example. if I had the numbers 400 and 40, 40 is ten times smaller than 400.

Answer 2

The 3's value in 4,310 is 300. The 3's value in 3,297 is 3,000. So 3,000 is ten times as great as 300.
