To compare the ten thousands place and thousands place in the number 88,888, we analyze each place value:
- Ten thousands place: The digit in the ten thousands place is 8, which represents 80,000.
- Thousands place: The digit in the thousands place is also 8, which represents 8,000.
Now we want to find an equation that correctly compares these two values:
- 80,000 (ten thousands place) compared to 8,000 (thousands place).
The correct equation that compares these two is:
\[ 80,000 = 10 \times 8,000 \]
Now let's review the provided options:
- A. \( 80,000 \times 1 = 80,000 \) - This is true, but it doesn't compare it to the thousands place.
- B. \( 80 \times 1,000 = 80,000 \) - This expression corrects to the value of 80,000 but does relate to the values of the digit's placement.
- C. \( 80 \times 10 = 800 \) - This is incorrect.
- D. \( 8,000 \times 10 = 80,000 \) - This correctly shows that ten times the thousands place value equals the ten thousands place value.
Thus, the best choice that correctly compares the two values is:
D. \( 8,000 \times 10 = 80,000\).
