Worked examples
What is the value of the 0 in 4,083?
- 0
- 00
- 100
- It has no value.
Answer: 0. 0 sits in the hundreds column. Its value is 0, but it HOLDS the place.
On a number line marked at 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, where does 250 sit?
- Halfway between 200 and 300.
- Just before 100.
- Halfway between 100 and 200.
- At 100.
Answer: Halfway between 200 and 300.. 250 = 200 + 50, the midpoint of the 200–300 interval.
A pupil writes: 'The number 3,250 rounded to the nearest 1,000 is 3,000.' A teacher marks this wrong. Why?
- The hundreds digit is 2, but the next digit (5 in tens of hundreds, i.e. the hundreds column) is 2 — actually 3,250 to the nearest 1,000 IS 3,000. The teacher is wrong.
- Should be 4,000.
- Should be 3,300.
- Should be 2,000.
Answer: The hundreds digit is 2, but the next digit (5 in tens of hundreds, i.e. the hundreds column) is 2 — actually 3,250 to the nearest 1,000 IS 3,000. The teacher is wrong.. Look at hundreds digit (2). 2 < 5 → round down. 3,250 → 3,000. Pupil is right.
