The Standard
MGSE4.NBT.1
Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number,
a digit in any one place represents ten times
what it represents in the place to its right.
For example, recognize that 700 70 = 10 by
applying concepts of place value and division.

Practice Problem
Which of the following statements is true?
a. 800 is ten times greater than 8.
b. 3000 is ten times greater than 30.
c. 70 is ten times greater than 700.
d. 900 is ten times greater than 90.

Correct Answer and Explanation

D: 90x10=900, so 900 is 10 times greater than
90. 800 is 100 times greater than 8, 3000 is 100
times greater than 30, and 70 is only a tenth of
700. Therefore the only answer is D.

Correct Answer and Explanation

Every time that you move to the left the
value is 10x more than the place to the
right. So, since the ones place is three
places over from the 1000s place- 10 x 10x
10=1000.
