Answer:

The number is 138,695,157.

If you want to know the value of a particular number, then follow the steps:

1) Start at the decimal point (in the right) and count the places until you reach the desired number.

For example, the 3 is in the 8th position, so here we take n = 8.

2) Now that you find n, multiply your number by 10^(n-1)

in this case we have:

3*10^(8 - 1) = 3*10^7 → (this means that you add 7 zeros at the right of the 3)

3*10^7 = 30,000,000

So that is the value of the 3 in the given number. (3 ten-millions)
