in which number does the digit 5 have a value that is 10 times as great as the digit 5 in the number 4.59?

2775.9  

Step-by-step explanation:

options are

A) 578

B) 2775.9

C) 134.591

D) 31.757

Value of digit 5 in 4.59 is 0.5 as is is at tenth place after decimal

0.5 = 5/10

ten times of this value = 5/10*10 = 5

Thus, 5 is the value, and hence the number which we require should be at unit place of the required number.

In the given question

A) 578

here 5 is at hundredth place

other way to represent is is 500+70+8

B) 2775.9

here 5 is unit place and is correct option

it can be represented as

2000+ 700+ 70+ 7 + 9/10

c)C) 134.591

here 5 is tenth place after decimal

it can be represented as

100+ 30+ 5 + 5/10+9/100 + 1/1000

d)31.757

here 5 is hundredth place after decimal

it can be represented as

30+ 1 + 7/10+5/100 + 7/1000\

Hence, 2775.9  is correct choice.
