Jasmine says the 8 in 845 has a value that is ten times as much as the 8 in the number 782.max says the 8 in 782is ten times as much as the 8 in 18.who is correct, max? jasmine ? both students? explain your thinking

Both students are correct. Numerical placement goes by one, ten, hundred and so on each placement is 10 times larger than the next. Jasmine stated that the 8 in 845 is ten times larger than the 8 in 782. This is true since the 8 in 845 is 800 and the 8 in 782 is 80, and 80 times 10 equals 800. So 782 is ten times smaller than 845. Then Max stated that the 8 in 782 is ten time more than the 8 in 18. Meaning the 8 in 782 is 80 and the 8 in 18 is 8, thus 8 times 10 equals 80. So 18 is ten times smaller than 782.

Hope i can you!
