Explanation

  1. Problem Analysis and Place Value Definition

To determine the place value of a digit, we identify its position within the number relative to the right-most digit, which starts at the 'ones' place. The sequence of place values moving from right to left is ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, and hundred-thousands. Each number provided contains exactly one underlined digit whose position defines its value.

  1. Step-by-Step Identification of Place Values

We analyze each of the 20 numbers to identify the place value of the underlined digit:

  1. \(82\underline{3}8\): The underlined 3 is in the tens place.
  2. \(3\underline{8}0\): The underlined 8 is in the tens place.
  3. \(\underline{6}85\): The underlined 6 is in the hundreds place.
  4. \(9\underline{8}\): The underlined 8 is in the ones place.
  5. \(\underline{6}352\): The underlined 6 is in the thousands place.
  6. \(64\underline{1}6\): The underlined 1 is in the tens place.
  7. \(5\underline{3}89\): The underlined 3 is in the hundreds place.
  8. \(8\underline{5}79\): The underlined 5 is in the hundreds place.
  9. \(3\underline{1}17\): The underlined 1 is in the hundreds place.
  10. \(1058\underline{4}0\): The underlined 4 is in the tens place.
  11. \(11\underline{3}117\): The underlined 3 is in the thousands place.
  12. \(125\underline{8}40\): The underlined 8 is in the hundreds place.
  13. \(1\underline{9}9\): The underlined 9 is in the tens place.
  14. \(125\underline{9}8\): The underlined 9 is in the tens place.
  15. \(136\underline{6}94\): The underlined 6 is in the hundreds place.
  16. \(14\underline{5}98\): The underlined 5 is in the hundreds place.
  17. \(9\underline{8}9\): The underlined 8 is in the tens place.
  18. \(16\underline{8}01\): The underlined 8 is in the hundreds place.
  19. \(17\underline{7}367\): The underlined 7 is in the thousands place.
  20. \(1848\underline{8}9\): The underlined 8 is in the tens place.
  1. Final Results

The identification process is complete for all 20 numbers provided. The results are summarized below:

  1. Tens, 2. Tens, 3. Hundreds, 4. Ones, 5. Thousands, 6. Tens, 7. Hundreds, 8. Hundreds, 9. Hundreds, 10. Tens, 11. Thousands, 12. Hundreds, 13. Tens, 14. Tens, 15. Hundreds, 16. Hundreds, 17. Tens, 18. Hundreds, 19. Thousands, 20. Tens.

Examples

Understanding place value is essential for handling money and measurements. For instance, when counting your savings, identifying that a digit in the hundreds place represents hundreds of dollars helps you quickly estimate your total funds. In daily tasks like reading a car's odometer or checking prices at a store, place value allows you to quickly grasp the scale of the number, ensuring you make informed decisions about your budget and resources.
