20. Which number has the greatest value? (A) 9299 ones (B) 903 tens (C) 93 hundreds (D) 9 thousands (E) 9 thousandths

To determine which number has the greatest value, let's evaluate each option by converting them into their numerical forms: 1. **(A) 9299 ones** - Calculation: \( 9299 \times 1 = 9299 \) - **Value:** 9,299 2. **(B) 903 tens** - Calculation: \( 903 \times 10 = 9,030 \) - **Value:** 9,030 3. **(C) 93 hundreds** - Calculation: \( 93 \times 100 = 9,300 \) - **Value:** 9,300 4. **(D) 9 thousands** - Calculation: \( 9 \times 1,000 = 9,000 \) - **Value:** 9,000 5. **(E) 9 thousandths** - Calculation: \( 9 \times 0.001 = 0.009 \) - **Value:** 0.009 Comparing all the values: - 9,299 (A) - 9,030 (B) - **9,300 (C)** - 9,000 (D) - 0.009 (E) The greatest value among these is **9,300**, which corresponds to option **(C) 93 hundreds**. **Answer:** (C) 93 hundreds
