Marcy mailed a package weighing 1.337 kilograms. How does the value represented by the 3 in the tenths place compare with the value represented by the 3 in the hundredths place?
It represents 10 times the value.
It represents 100 times the value.
It represents 10 more.
It represents the same value, because they both equal 3.
The correct answer is: It represents 10 times the value.
Explanation: In the number 1.337, the digit 3 in the tenths place (0.3) represents 3 tenths, while the digit 3 in the hundredths place (0.03) represents 3 hundredths. Since 3 tenths is equal to 0.3 and 3 hundredths is equal to 0.03, we can see that 0.3 is 10 times greater than 0.03.
