1. The problem asks: "The value of the digit in the ten thousands place is how many times the value of the digit in the thousands place?"\n\n2. From the place-value chart, the digit in the ten thousands place is 8, and the digit in the thousands place is 8.\n\n3. The value of a digit depends on its place. The ten thousands place means the digit is multiplied by 10,000, and the thousands place means the digit is multiplied by 1,000.\n\n4. Calculate the value of the digit in the ten thousands place: $$8 \times 10,000 = 80,000$$\n\n5. Calculate the value of the digit in the thousands place: $$8 \times 1,000 = 8,000$$\n\n6. To find how many times the ten thousands place value is compared to the thousands place value, divide: $$\frac{80,000}{8,000} = 10$$\n\n7. Therefore, the value of the digit in the ten thousands place is 10 times the value of the digit in the thousands place.
