times the value of the 4 in 9.048.

Answer 1

To compare the values of the 4s in 64.723 and 9.048, we need to look at their respective places:

- In 64.723, the 4 is in the tens place, which means its value is \(4 \times 10 = 40\).
- In 9.048, the 4 is in the thousandths place, which means its value is \(4 \times 0.001 = 0.004\).

Now, to find how many times the value of the 4 in 64.723 is compared to the value of the 4 in 9.048, we can set up the following equation:

\[
\frac{40}{0.004} = 10000
\]

So, the value of the 4 in 64.723 is **10000** times the value of the 4 in 9.048.

Therefore, the complete statement is:

The value of the 4 in 64.723 is **10000** times the value of the 4 in 9.048.
