In which number is the digit 5 one-tenth as much than it is in the number 25,973?

Let's first look at the number that we are given.25,973. We would read this number as eighty-nine and five hundred forty seven thousandths.

In this number, the 5 is in the tenths place. That is equivalent to 5/10 or five tenths (five divided by ten or 0.5).

The questions asks you to write a number in which the digit "5" is one-tenth the value of the number 5 in 25,973

You are looking for a number that is one-tenth of 0.5. Remember, one-tenth equals 1/10 which equals 0.1.

One-tenth of 0.5 equals 0.1 multiplied by 0.5 which equals 0.05. Hence, the number 5 has to be in the hundredths place to answer the question.

Using the number that we were given (89.547), if you multiply 25,973 by (1/10) you get 8.9547.

In the number 8.9547, the digit 5 is one-tenth the value of the number 5 in 25,973

The answer is 8.9547.

I hope this explanation helps.

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
