The place value of a digit at the tenths place is 10 times the same digit at the ones place.

Question

State whether the statement is true or false:

The place value of a digit at the tenths place is 10 times the same digit at the ones place.

Answer 1

False.

Let us assume a digit be ‘y’.

The place value of a digit at the tenths place = y × (1/10)

= y/10

Then,

The tenths place is 10 times the same digit at the ones place.

y/10 = 10y is not possible.
