In the number 550, is the value of the 5 in the tens place ten times greater than the value of the 5 in the hundreds place? Explain why or why not.

No. The value of the 5 in the tens place is not ten times greater than the value of the 5 in the hundreds place because if you multiply 50 by 10 you will get 500, which is the same as the 5 in the hundreds place.

As the person said above, no.
This is because the 5 in the tens place equals 50 and if you multiply 50 x 10 = 500
And the value of 5 in the hundreds place equals 500
So 500 is NOT greater than 500
It is equal to
Hope this helped

No, the value of the 5 in the tens place (50) is not ten times greater than the value of the 5 in the hundreds place (500); rather, it is ten times less. This can be confirmed by comparing the values directly. Therefore, the statement in the question is incorrect.
