Question

What is the place value of the 2nd digit of a 3-digit number?

• A. Tens
• B. Ones
• C. Hundreds
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A Tens

Say:
We know that the place on the right side is ones.
Then come tens and hundreds, respectively.
For example, in $345,$ there are $5$ ones, $4$ tens, and $3$ hundreds.
$5$ is the 1st digit from the right, and its place value is ones.
$4$ is the 2nd digit from the right, and its place value is tens.
Hence, the place value of the 2nd digit from the right of a number is tens, and option C is the correct answer.
