Answer 1

To compare the ten thousands place and the thousands place in the number 777,777:

1. The ten thousands place is represented by the digit 7 in the 70,000 place.
2. The thousands place is represented by the digit 7 in the 7,000 place.

Now let's look at the values:

• Ten thousands place: 70,000
• Thousands place: 7,000

Now, we can set up an equation to compare these two values:

70,000 ÷ 7,000 = 10

This shows that the ten thousands place (70,000) is 10 times greater than the thousands place (7,000).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. 70,000 ÷ 7,000 = 10.
