Determine the place value of the digit '4' in the number 440.
Answer (2)
The name values of the digits in 440 under the 4s are 400 and 40 respectively.
Understanding Place Value: In a multi-digit number, each position of a digit represents a different value, based on its place from right to left. The values are powers of 10.
The rightmost position is the ones place (10^0).
The next position to the left is the tens place (10^1).
The next position is the hundreds place (10^2).
Breaking Down the Number 440:
The first digit (4) from the left is in the hundreds place, so its place value is: 4 × 1 0 2 = 4 × 100 = 400
The second digit (4) is in the tens place, which gives it the place value: 4 × 1 0 1 = 4 × 10 = 40
The last digit (0) is in the ones place, and since it is 0, it does not contribute to the value: 0 × 1 0 0 = 0
Total Value of Each Digit:
The value of the first 4 is 400.
The value of the second 4 is 40.
The value of 0 is 0.
The digit '4' in the number 440 has two contributions: one in the hundreds place valued at 400 and another in the tens place valued at 40. Therefore, the place value of the digit '4' is represented as both 400 and 40. In total, the digit '4' contributes a significant value to the overall number.
