Is the value of the 2 in 230 ten times. As great as the value of the 3 in the same number? Explain

The given number 230, before giving the answering, let us first identify each values

2 = hundreds

3 = tens

0 = ones

Now, the question is, is the value of 2 hundreds is ten times as great as the value of 3 tens.

Well basing on the place value only, Yes. But basing on the number and place value, the answer is NO.

=> 30 x 10 = 300, while the value of 2 is 200.

thus, the value of 2 is not 10 times greater than the value of 3.
