Andrew and Sam start counting from 150 to 200 including. Andrew counts by fives, and Sam counts by threes. What is the ratio of the numbers Andrew counts to the numbers Sam counts?

11/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says to find the ratio by which Andrew counts to the ratio Sam counts.

Andrew counts by 5s:

150,155,160,165,170,175,180,185,190,195,200. His total count is 11

Sam counts by 3s:

150,153,156,159,162,165,168,171,174,177,180,183,186,189,192,195,198. His total number of count is 17

The ratio of their count is 11:17

= 11/17

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
