what is the place value of the first zero? 07.6502

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Replace the 0 with 1 to go from 07 to 17 Then replace the 7 with 0 to get 10 So because this number is 10 (ten), the first zero is in the tens place

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you talking about the zero after the decimal or before? If it's after, it is in the thousands place. If it is before the decimal it is in the (ten)'s place.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks!

The question was actually Identify the place value of the zero that is not needed in the number but i changed it would your answer be correct?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes because 07 is the same as 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank so much!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That was the wrong answer :(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this site is acting very strange

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

messages are out of order...

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

didn't work? if it's not the tens place, then it has to be the thousandths place

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the thousands place was a choice

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then the answer is that if the tens place doesn't work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks again

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure thing, not sure why the tens place didn't work since the first zero (reading from left to right) is in 07...which is definitely in the tens place
