Numbers are composed of digits. Each digit has a certain place value based on its location in a number. This applies to decimals (which will be further explored in Module 3: Decimals) and whole numbers.
Example
In 792…
7 is in the hundreds position (700)
9 is in the tens position (90)
2 is in the units position (2)
When working with decimals, digits place values that follow the decimal work in a similar manner.
However, each place value ends in a -ths instead of just -s.
