What is the three-digit number formed by the digits 1, 0, and 7 in that order?

• A. 170
• B. 107
• C. 701
• D. 017

Answer: (B)

Understanding place value helps you read the digits in the exact order given and assign them to hundreds, tens, and ones. With the digits in that order, 1 goes in the hundreds place, 0 in the tens place, and 7 in the ones place, giving 107. The other options don’t match that order: 170 would swap the 0 and 7, 701 would put 7 in the hundreds place, and 017 starts with a zero, which isn’t a valid three-digit number.
