      You thought right in the first place. Pardon the pun. 😂 Take for example a given set of numbers - 18452. For place value, it means how much the digit 8 represents which in this case 8000 or 8 thousands. Another way this question is asked is \"What does the digit '8' stands for?\"


      I was going thro a question in an assessment book and the answer given was just 'thousands', which meant it wanted the 'place', essentially different from '8000' or '8 thousands' which is the 'value'.

      It also means that the question 'What does the digit '8' stand for?' is different from 'What is the place value of the digit '8'?'.

      Ya, I have seen thousands in most of the assessment book. ????

        If the question asking the digit 8 is in which place means thousands place
        place means the position..where is it?It is in tens place or hundreds place or, etc

        If the question asking the value of the digit 8 means 8000.

        If the question asking the digit 8 stands for means 8000.
        stands for also same as value

                      pls help, don’t understand how to do this


                      Ray and Jim had an equal amount of money. Ray spent $85 on the watch and Jim spent $189 on a camera. As a result, Ray had thrice as much as money as Jim had left. How much money did each of them have at first?

                      thanks in advance
