we know that
The first digit from the right is the units of the number
The second digit from the right is the tens of the number
The third digit from the right is the hundreds of the number
so
In this problem
[tex] 2 [/tex] represent [tex] 2 [/tex] units--------> [tex] 2*1=2 [/tex]
[tex] 3 [/tex] represent [tex] 3 [/tex] tens--------> [tex] 3*10=30 [/tex]
[tex] 4 [/tex] represent [tex] 4 [/tex] hundreds--------> [tex] 4*100=400 [/tex]
therefore
the answer is
[tex] 3 [/tex] tens or [tex] 30 [/tex]
The correct answer is:
The tens place, for a value of 30.
Explanation:
The number at the end of a whole number is in the ones place. The number to the left of that is the tens place; the number to the left of that the hundreds place, and beyond that the next place is the thousands.
In our number, 2 is in the ones place, and has a value of 2(1) = 2.
3 is in the next place left, which is the tens place. Its value is 3(10) = 30.
4 is in the next place left, the hundreds place; its value is 4(100) = 400.
