Let’s go step by step through each problem.

Problem b: 34487
We are comparing the value of 4 in one place to the value of another 4 in the hundreds place.
First, let’s label the places from right to left:
- Ones: 7
- Tens: 8
- Hundreds: 4 ← this is the reference point
- Thousands: 4 ← this is the one we’re comparing
- Ten thousands: 3
So, the 4 in the
thousands place has a value of 4,000.
The 4 in the
hundreds place has a value of 400.
Now, how many times bigger is 4,000 than 400?
→ 4,000 ÷ 400 = 10
So, the value of 4 in the
thousands place is
10 times the value of
4 in the hundreds place.
✔ Answer for b:
The value of 4 in the
thousands place is
10 times the value of
4 in the hundreds place.

Problem c: 448
Label the places:
- Ones: 8
- Tens: 4 ← reference point
- Hundreds: 4 ← we’re comparing this one
Value of 4 in hundreds place = 400
Value of 4 in tens place = 40
How many times bigger is 400 than 40?
→ 400 ÷ 40 = 10
✔ Answer for c:
The value of 4 in the
hundreds place is
10 times the value of
4 in the tens place.

Problem d: 8422
Label the places:
- Ones: 2 ← reference point
- Tens: 2 ← we’re comparing this one
- Hundreds: 4
- Thousands: 8
Value of 2 in tens place = 20
Value of 2 in ones place = 2
How many times bigger is 20 than 2?
→ 20 ÷ 2 = 10
✔ Answer for d:
The value of 2 in the
tens place is
10 times the value of
2 in the ones place.

Problem e: 45,156
Label the places (from right):
- Ones: 6
- Tens: 5 ← reference point
- Hundreds: 1
- Thousands: 5 ← we’re comparing this one
- Ten thousands: 4
Value of 5 in thousands place = 5,000
Value of 5 in tens place = 50
How many times bigger is 5,000 than 50?
→ 5,000 ÷ 50 = 100
✔ Answer for e:
The value of 5 in the
thousands place is
100 times the value of
5 in the tens place.

Problem f: 92149
Label the places:
- Ones: 9 ← reference point
- Tens: 4
- Hundreds: 1
- Thousands: 2
- Ten thousands: 9 ← we’re comparing this one
Value of 9 in ten thousands place = 90,000
Value of 9 in ones place = 9
How many times bigger is 90,000 than 9?
→ 90,000 ÷ 9 = 10,000
✔ Answer for f:
The value of 9 in the
ten thousands place is
10,000 times the value of
9 in the ones place.

Final Answer:
b. thousands, 10, 4
c. hundreds, 10, 4
d. tens, 10, 2
e. thousands, 100, 5
f. ten thousands, 10000, 9
