in 2005,Eastside elementary school was built at a cost of $18,000,000.the school it replaced was built in 1935 at the cost of $180,000.explain how the values of the 8 in each number are related
See your previous post.
Sure! The values of the digit 8 in each number represent different places within the number itself. In the number 18,000,000, the digit 8 is in the millions place. This means that the value of the 8 in this number is 8 million (8,000,000). On the other hand, in the number 180,000, the digit 8 is in the thousands place. Therefore, the value of the 8 in this number is 8 thousand (8,000).
To understand this relationship, it's important to remember the place value system. In our decimal number system, each digit's value depends on its position within the number. The position to the right of the decimal point is called the ones place, followed by the tens, hundreds, thousands, etc., from right to left. Each place value is 10 times larger than the one to its right. So, when you go from the thousands place to the millions place, the value of the digit in that position is multiplied by 1,000 (10 * 100).
Therefore, in the first number (18,000,000), the digit 8 in the millions place has a value of 8 million, while in the second number (180,000), the digit 8 in the thousands place has a value of 8 thousand.
