Answer:
The value of the first 5 in California population is NOT 10 times as great as the second 5
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the question
- Any number formed from some digits each digit has a place value
- Ex : the number 1,234 is four digits number
∵ 1,234 = 1000 + 200 + 30 + 4
# The first digit is 4 and its place value is ones (4)
# The second digit digit is 3 and its place value is tens (30)
# The third digit digit is 2 and its place value is hundreds (200)
# The fourth digit digit is 1 and its place value is thousands (1000)
* Now lets solve the problem
∵ The number is 37,253,956
∵ 37253956 = 30,000,000 + 7,000,000 + 200,000 + 50,000 +
3,000 + 900 + 50 + 6
∵ The place value of the first five is ten thousands
∴ The first five is 50,000
∵ The place value of the second five is tens
∴ The second five is 50
∵ 50,000 ÷ 50 = 1000
∴ The value of the first 5 is 1000 times as great as the value of the
second five
∴ The value of the first 5 in California population is NOT 10 times
as great as the second 5
