Answer :
Using the method of checking each answer to see if it is possible that they are correct.
The 3 in the 350 can also be referred to as just 300 because it a 3 in the hundreds place. Also because if the rest of the numbers following the "3" were zeros the number would be 300.
The 3 in the 403 can be just referred to as 3 because there are no other numbers following it, and the 3 is in the ones place.
A. THE 3 IN 350 IS 10 TIMES THE VALUE OF THE 3 IN 403
-Saying that 300 is ten times greater than 3-
To check that would mean that:
300 = 3x10
300=30
300≠30
ANSWER A DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE 300 DOES NOT EQUAL 30
B: THE 3 IN 350 IS 100 TIMES THE VALUE OF THE 3 IN 403
-Saying that 300 is one hundred times greater than the 3-
To check that would mean that:
300=3(100)
300=300
ANSWER B WORKS AND IS THE CORRECT ANSWER BECAUSE 300=300
C: THE 3 IN 403 IS 10 TIMES THE VALUE OF THE 3 IN 350
-Saying that the 3 in ten times greater than the value of 300-
To check that would mean that:
3=300x10
3=3000
3≠3000
ANSWER C DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE 3 IS NOT EQUAL TO 3000
D: THE 3 IN 403 IS 100 TIMES THE VALUE OF THE 3 IN 350
-Saying that 3 is one hundred times greater than 300-
To check that would mean that:
3=300(100)
3=30000
3≠30000
ANSWER D DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE 3 IS NOT EQUAL TO 30000
THE CORRECT ANSWER IS B
