what an illegible mishmash!
I apologize if the previous response was unclear. Here is a clearer rephrasing:
What number has the digit 5 in it such that it has a value 10 times greater than the digit 5 in the number 4.59459?
The options are:
A) 578
B) 31.757
C) 2,775.92
D) 134.591
To determine in which number the digit 5 has a value that is 10 times as great as the digit 5 in the number 4.59, we need to compare the place value of the digit 5 in each number.
Let's break down each number and identify the place value of the digit 5:
Number A: 578
5 is in the units place (1's place).
Number B: 31.757
5 is in the hundredths place (0.01's place).
Number C: 2,775.9
5 is in the hundredths place (0.01's place).
Number D: 134.591
5 is in the tenths place (0.1's place).
Now that we have determined the place value of the digit 5 in each number, let's find the value that is 10 times as great as the digit 5 in the number 4.59.
In the number 4.59, the digit 5 is in the hundredths place (0.01's place). To find a value that is 10 times as great, we multiply it by 10.
0.01 * 10 = 0.1
So, the value of the digit 5 in the number 4.59 that is 10 times as great is 0.1.
Now we can compare this value (0.1) with the place values of the digit 5 in each answer choice:
A: 578
The digit 5 is in the units place. The value is 5, which is not 10 times as great as 0.1.
B: 31.757
The digit 5 is in the hundredths place. The value is 0.01, which is not 10 times as great as 0.1.
C: 2,775.9
The digit 5 is in the hundredths place. The value is 0.01, which is not 10 times as great as 0.1.
D: 134.591
The digit 5 is in the tenths place. The value is 0.1, which is indeed 10 times as great as 0.1.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 134.591, where the digit 5 has a value that is 10 times as great as the digit 5 in the number 4.59.
