We were given the numbers:

2,783 & 7283

For the number 2,783:

The place value of "2" is thousand. This means the value is two thousand (2,000)

For the number 7,283:

The place value of "2" is hundred. This means the value is two hundred (200)

The value of "2" in 2,783 is 10 times the value of "2" in 7,283

Hence, the value of "2" in the thousands place is 10 times the value of "2" in the hundreds place
