Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
Problem 1:
Daisy bought 4 packets of pens, each with 15 pens.
So total pens = 4 × 15 = 60 pens.
She gave 1 packet to her brother → that’s 15 pens given away.
Pens left = 60 - 15 =
45
✔ Check: 3 packets left × 15 = 45 → correct.
---
Problem 2:
Digits available: 2 and 6.
We can make two-digit numbers: 26 and 62.
Smallest = 26
Largest = 62
✔ Only two possible numbers — no other combinations with just these digits (assuming we use both digits once).
---
Problem 3:
Number: 1674
Break it down by place value:
- Thousands place: 1
- Hundreds place: 6
- Tens place: 7
- Ones place: 4
Question asks for tens and thousands place →
7 and 1
✔ Correct order? The question says “tens and the thousands place” — so answer should be in that order: tens first, then thousands → 7 and 1.
---
Problem 4:
Number: 884
Digits from right to left:
- Ones place: 4
- Tens place: 8
- Hundreds place: 8
Digit 4 is in the
ones place → its place value is
4 (since 4 × 1 = 4)
Wait — sometimes “place value” means the value based on position, not just the digit. But in elementary math, when they say “what place value does the digit have”, they usually mean the *value* of that digit in its position.
In 884:
- The 4 is in the ones place → place value = 4 × 1 =
4
But let’s double-check common usage: In many curricula, “place value of digit 4 in 884” means “what is the value contributed by that digit?” → which is 4.
Some might confuse this with “which place is it in?” — but the question says “has what place value”, so it’s asking for the numerical value based on position.
✔ So: 4 is in ones place → place value = 4.
---
Problem 5:
Compare 782 and 872.
Look at hundreds place:
- 782 → 7 hundreds
- 872 → 8 hundreds
8 > 7 → so 872 is bigger.
✔ Even if you look further: 872 - 782 = 90 → positive, so 872 is larger.

Final Answer:
1. 45
2. Smallest: 26, Largest: 62
3. Tens place: 7, Thousands place: 1
4. 4
5. 872
