1 answer

To determine how many times the value of the 5 in 1354.2 is compared to the 5 in 235.29, we need to identify the place value of each 5.

In 1354.2, the 5 is in the tens place, which has a value of \(5 \times 10 = 50\).

In 235.29, the 5 is in the ones place, which has a value of \(5 \times 1 = 5\).

Now, we divide the value of the 5 in 1354.2 by the value of the 5 in 235.29:

\[ \frac{50}{5} = 10 \]

Thus, the 5 in 1354.2 is 10 times the value of the 5 in 235.29.
