Answer:
9 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Number = 3355[/tex]
Required
Determine how many times, the 3 on the left is greater than that on the right
[tex]Number = 3355[/tex]
First, we need to determine the value of the three on the left
To get its value, we have to change all other digits to 0. This gives
[tex]Left\ 3 = 3000[/tex]
Next, we need to determine the value of the three on the righy
Similarly, we have to change all other digits to 0. This gives
[tex]Right\ 3 = 0300[/tex]
[tex]Right\ 3 = 300[/tex]
Next, we calculate the positive difference between these two values and divide by the value of the Right 3
[tex]Result = \frac{Left\ 3 - Right\ 3}{Right\ 3}[/tex]
[tex]Result= \frac{3000 - 300}{300}[/tex]
[tex]Result= \frac{2700}{300}[/tex]
[tex]Result = 9[/tex]
Hence, the left 3 is 9 times greater than the right 3
