Is the value ofcthe first 5 in California population 10 times as great as the second 5 37253956

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
