Step-by-step explanation:

To find : In which number does the digit 5 have greater value 0.05 or 0.005 how many times as great is it and how do you know ?

Solution :

According to the place value stem,

Ones      Tenths      Hundredths     Thousandths

 0              0                   5                                           - 0.05

 0              0                   0                        5                 - 0.005

In 0.05 5 is in hundredths place and in 0.005 5 is in thousandths place.

So, 5 in 0.05 is 10 times greater than 5 in 0.005.

As $0.05=5\times \frac{1}{100}$

$0.005=5\times \frac{1}{1000}$
