You need to understand place values.
Here is an example, using different numbers.
2,377 -- how do the 7s compare?
The place values for the digits in this number (from left to right) are thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.
The digit 2 is in the thousands' place, so it represents the value 2*1000, which is 2000.
The digit 3 is in the hundreds' place, so it represents the value 3*100, which is 300.
The next-to-the-last digit 7 is in the tens' place, so it represents the value 7*10, which is 70.
The last digit is in the ones' place, so it represents the value 7*1, which is 7.
In other words, the number 2,377 is 2000+300+70+7.
The answer to my example problem is:
The 7s represent 70 and 7, and 70 is ten times larger than 7.
The 7 in the tens' place represents a value that is 10 times larger than the 7 in the ones' place.
That's how the 7s compare.
Do you know your place values?
In any number, each time you move one place to the left, the value is tens times bigger.:cool:

Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
how do i make the month,day and year into a math problem? for example the month,day, and year is 8-20-12. How would i make these numbers into a :to the power of" math problem?
I think it might go like this, but im not so sure.
8= 2 0+1+2
So i think the next one would go....
8=? 2+1+2
so the answer would be 2 3 squared.
I need help with these problems as well.
8-21-12
8-22-12
8-23-12
8-24-12
8-25-12
8-16-12
I dont get it?
Im not looking for you to just give me the answer, i just need it explained in detail so i can understand it. But if u want to give me the answers im not complaining.
