Help with a Fourth Grade math question.

[lyrxh2002]

I'm having a problem with one of my sons math questions. I don not understand what they mean with the question. Any help would be appreciated.

In 284,473, how is the value of the 4 in the thousands place related to the value of the 4 in the hundreds place?

I, also, do not understand that question.

284473 = 2 * 10⁵ + 8 * 10⁴ + 4 * 10³ + 4 * 10² + 7 * 10¹ + 3 * 10⁰

I believe they want you to say,
"the value of the 4 in the thousands place is 10 times the value of the 4 in the hundreds place."

I agree with Bob Brown, the value of 4,000 is ten times greater than the value of 400.
