Question

Last month, Jesse's grandparents bought a house for $582,150. Use a power of 10 to write a sentence or a number sentence that compares the value of the two 5s in the sale price.

Answer 1

5 times 10 to the 5th power is greater than 5 times 10 to the 1st power.

The 5 on the left side of the number is in the hundred thousand's column. 
The 5 on the right side of the numbers is in the ten's column.

The first one is 4 powers of ten larger.
