In the number 5,555.555, how does the 5 in the tenths place compare to the 5 in the place to its right?

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have 1 unit at the tenths place is equal to 10 units at the unit place, so 5 units at the tenths place are equivalent to \(5 \times10=...?\) units at the units place
