Answer:
The digit 7 is 1/10 of the value of digit 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a number, each digit as you move from right to left increases by a value of 10. For instance as we start with the digit 4, this is the 'ones' place, or a value of 4. The next digit to the left is 9 which is the 'tens' place, or a value of 90. When we move on to the digit of 6, which represents the 'hundreds' place, we have a value of 600. We continue to move to the left increasing by a power of 10 each time. The digit 7 in the number given represents the 'hundred million' value, while the digit 8 represents the 'billion' value. When we divide those two values, we reach a reduced or simplified value of 1/10.
