What is the answer?
(I am doing this cause my friend won't stop saying that 8 is in the tens

Answer 1

500 (or 5) is in the hundreds place, 30 (or 3) is in the tens place, and 8 is in the ones place.

Explanation:

500 is five-hundred, 30 is a ten (10, 20, 30, 40...), and 8 is a one because it is a single digit number and no other numbers come before it, unless it is a decimal.
