Question on: JSS2 Mathematics - Understanding the Place Value System

The number 9,082 can be broken down by each digit and its corresponding place value:

The digit '9' is in the thousands place:  9 times 1,000 = 9,000.

The digit '0' is in the hundreds place:  0 times 100 = 0.

The digit '8' is in the tens place:  8 times 10 = 80.

The digit '2' is in the units place:  2 times 1 = 2.

Therefore, the number 9,082 can be expressed as:

9,000 + 0 + 80 + 2

Each digit contributes to the total as follows:

'9' contributes 9,000.

'0' contributes 0, showing no hundreds.

'8' contributes 80.

'2' contributes 2.

Adding these values together gives the total of 9,082.
