Answer:
"8" on the left is ten times the value of the "8" on the right
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to assume that the comma " , " denotes divisions of "thousands" and not the European system where the comma represents a decimal point.
(refer to attached for definitions of place values)
we can see that for the number 8,809 :
1) the 8 on the left is in the thousands place and hence represents 8000.
2) the 8 on the right is in the hundreds place and hence represents 800.
in order to find the relative order of difference between the two digits, we simply we divide the value of the two digits:
8000 ÷ 800 = 10
Hence the "8" on the left is ten times the value of the "8" on the right
