Hundreds/tens/ones

Worked solution

1. 1

   Find the values of the bundles.

   $\begin{array}{c}2\text{hundreds}=200\\ 4\text{tens}=40\end{array}$

   A hundred contains one hundred ones; a ten contains ten ones.

2. 2

   Join the hundreds, tens and ones.

   $200+40+7=247$

   The three place values together give the whole collection.

Worked solution

1. 1

   Locate the digit in the number.

   $864=800+60+4$

   The $6$ is in the tens place, between hundreds and ones.

2. 2

   Count six tens.

   $6\times 10=60$

   The question asks for the digit’s value, so the answer is $60$, not $6$.
