Frank reasoned that in the number 0.555 the value of the 5 in the thousandths place is ten times as great as the 5 in the hundredths place. Is he correct? Explain

Yes , Frank is right

Step-by-step explanation:

5 in the thousandth place = 5*1/1000

= 5/1000

= 1/ 500

5 in the hundredth place = 5*1/100

= 5/100

= 1/50

Let value of 5 in the hundredth place = 1/50

1/50 * 10 = 1/500

Alternatively, yo can find the ratio

Ratio of 5 in the thousandth place to 5 in the hundredth place

= 1/500 ÷ 1/50

= 1/500 × 50/1

= 50/500

= 1/10

5 in the thousandth place : 5 in the hundredth place = 1:10

Therefore, value of the 5 in the thousandths place is ten times as great as the 5 in the hundredths place.

ok

step-by-step explanation:

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
