<p>In the<a>number</a>65, the 6 is in the tens place, meaning it is worth sixty. The digit itself has not changed, but its position has multiplied its importance, turning a small figure into something far larger in value.</p>

<p>In the standard<a>number system</a>,<a>place value</a>is determined starting from the rightmost digit. The<a>sequence</a>begins with ones, followed by tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on. Each move to the left increases the value of the place by ten times the place before it.</p>

<h3>3.Can a number smaller than 10 have a tens place?</h3>
70
<p>No. The tens place is only there when a number is 10 or more. If a number is smaller, there simply isn’t a digit in that position because the value doesn’t reach that high.</p>

<h3>4.Why should one count from the right instead of the left?</h3>
72
<p>Because place value starts with the smallest units on the far right - the ones place - and each step to the left makes the value ten times bigger. If you start from the left, it’s much harder to see that natural increase in value.</p>
