What is the value of underlined digit?

The value of an underlined digit in a number depends on its position or place value within the number. Each digit has a different value based on its position from right to left. The place values are typically organized in a decimal or base-10 system, which means that each place value is ten times greater than the one to its right.

For example, in the number 5476:

• The underlined digit "4" is in the hundreds place, so its value is 400.
• The underlined digit "7" is in the tens place, so its value is 70.
• The underlined digit "6" is in the ones place, so its value is 6.

In another example, the number 3.567:

• The underlined digit "3" is in the ones place, so its value is 3.
• The underlined digit "5" is in the tenths place, so its value is 0.5 (5 divided by 10).
• The underlined digit "6" is in the hundredths place, so its value is 0.06 (6 divided by 100).
• The underlined digit "7" is in the thousandths place, so its value is 0.007 (7 divided by 1000).

Understanding the value of underlined digits is crucial for correctly reading, writing, and manipulating numbers in various mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
