5003 Praxis Practice Test Practice Question
In the number shown, how many times larger is the place value of the underlined 5 compared with the place value of the 5 with no underline?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine how many times larger the place value of the underlined 5 is compared to the other 5, we first identify their positions in a number. If the underlined 5 is in the ten-thousands place, its value is 50,000. If the other 5 is in the thousands place, its value is 5,000.
Dividing the value of the underlined 5 (50,000) by the value of the other 5 (5,000) gives us 10. Thus, the underlined 5 is 10 times larger.
Option A (1,000) is incorrect as it underestimates the difference. Option B (5,000) also miscalculates the ratio. Option D (50,000) incorrectly suggests that the underlined 5 is 50,000 times larger, which is not the case.
