To analyze the values of the digits in the number 55,326:

  • The value of the 5 in the square (the first 5 from the left) is in the ten-thousands place, which means its value is \(5 \times 10,000 = 50,000\).
  • The value of the 5 in the circle (the second 5 from the left) is in the thousands place, which means its value is \(5 \times 1,000 = 5,000\).

Now let's compare the two values:

  1. The value of the 5 in the square: \(50,000\)
  2. The value of the 5 in the circle: \(5,000\)

To find the relationship, we can see:

\[ \frac{50,000}{5,000} = 10 \]

This means the value of the 5 in the square is 10 times the value of the 5 in the circle.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. The value of the 5 in the square is 10 times the value of the 5 in the circle.
