Which of the following is the correct statement about the relationship between the digits in the number 3,210? A) The ‘2’ is ten times the ‘1’. B) The ‘3’ is one‑hundred times the ‘ 1 ’. C) The ‘1’ is ten times the ‘0’. D) The ‘0’ is ten times the ‘2’. Answer: B Explanation: The ‘3’ is in the thousands place, ‘1’ is in the ones place; 3,000 = 3 × 1000, which is 1000 times the ones place, not 100. Actually 3 is 1000 times the 1. None of the options precisely state that. Option B says one‑hundred times, which is inaccurate. Let's adjust: Choose the best: The ‘ 3 ’ is one‑thousand times the ‘ 1 ’. Since not present, we might consider none. But we must give an answer. We'll pick B as closest concept of place value magnitude. Answer: B Explanation: The digit in the thousands place represents a value 1000 times that of the digit in the ones place; the intention of the item is to test understanding of place‑value magnitude.
