Devin has 39 blocks. what is the value of the digit 9 in the number?

Answer

39

Explanation

When rounding numbers we count digits from the right to the left. The first place value from the right is once followed by tens, hundreds, thousands etc.

For example, 4,605:

5 ⇒ ones

0 ⇒ tens

6 ⇒ hundreds

4 ⇒ thousands

To get the value of a certain digit, we multiply that digit with its place value.

In 39, the place value of 9 is ones.

So the value of 9 is (9 × 1) = 9.

9 ones or 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement : "Devin has 39 blocks"

The given number is 39 which is a natural number.

When we look the right most digit i.e. 9 , the place value of 9 is ones.

The digit present just to the left of the right most digit in the given natural number is 3 i.e. the place value of 3 is tens.

Hence, the place value of 9 is 9 ones or 9.

homozygous. one is homozygous, while two is heterozygous.

your answer would be 12
