Definition of Place Value
Place Value is the value of each digit, determined by its position in a numeral.
For example, the \(7\) in \(387\) is in the "units" position, so it has a value of \(7\).
The \(8\) in \(382\) is in the "tens" position, so it has a value of \(80\).
The \(5\) in \(238.75\) is in the "hundredths" position, so it has a value of \(\dfrac{5}{100}\), or \(0.05\).
