Question

What is the value of the 1 in 178

Answer 1

The value of 1 in 178 is 100 since it is in the hundreds place.  The value of 7 in 178 is 70 and the value of 8 in 178 is 8.  The hundreds place carries numbers from 1 to 9.  Once you get to 10, you add a digit to the number such that you now have four total numbers and the first digit is in the thousands place.
