Answer :

The given number 0.044.

How the value if 4s related?

=> let’s give the place value of each digits first. There are 3 digits
after the decimal point.

=> 0 which is tenths, 4 which is hundredths and another 4 which is
thousandths.

Now, notice the we have 2 4s next to each other.

=> 4 hundredths

=> 4 thousandths

Thus, 4 hundredths is 10 times higher than 4 thousandths.

=> 0.004 x 10 , in where the value of 4 is thousandths

=> 0.04, in where when multiplied by 10 the value become hundredths.






Final answer:

In the number 0.044, the first 4 is ten times the value of the second 4 due to its position in the hundredths place compared to the thousandths place.

Explanation:

The values of the two 4s in 0.044 are related by their place value in the decimal system. The first 4 is in the hundredths place, which means it is four hundredths (0.04). The second 4 is in the thousandths place, which corresponds to four thousandths (0.004). Thus, the value of the first 4 is ten times greater than the value of the second 4.
