Question

Explain the place value relationship when the same two digits are next to each other in a multi-digit number

Answer 1

If we have two of the same digit beside each other it means that the one to the left is exactly ten times greater than the one to the right.

Explanation:

In a place value chart we start from ones then tens then hundreds then thousands and so on. Each consecutive place to the left is 10 times more

If we have two of the same digit beside each other it means that the one to the left is exactly ten times greater than the one to the right.

Lets take an example:

We have a number: 3221

In this example we have two 2s beside each other. The one to the right is in the tens place, making it 2*10 = 20. The one to the left is in the hundreds place, making it 2*100 = 200. 200 is ten times greater than 20....
