Before the expedition began, Emek and Luna studied a map of supply stations labeled with large numbers. One station was marked 6,308. They recognized that the 6 represented thousands, the 3 represented hundreds, the 0 represented tens, and the 8 represented ones. Understanding each digit's place value helped them match the label to the correct storage station. The teams collected the right equipment quickly, and the expedition started without confusion.

Hint
Combine each place value to make the whole number.
The storage station label was 6,308. What number is shown by the 6 thousands, 3 hundreds, 0 tens, and 8 ones?
Correct! The place values make the number 6,308.
Put the digits in order from thousands to ones: 6, 3, 0, 8.
Next🎉 Congrats! You got this question!
Hint
Compare the positions of the digits 3 and 8 in both numbers.
The team sees another station label, 6,803. How is this number different from 6,308?
The 8 and 3 changed places, so the value changedThe numbers are exactly the sameThe 6 is now in the hundreds placeThe number has no hundreds digitCorrect! The digits 3 and 8 switched places, changing their place values.
Look carefully at the digit positions. A digit's value changes when its place changes.
