Process
Place value chart
Hundreds Tens Ones value
3 5 0 tens
0 1 7 hundreds

The number 350 is placed on the place value chart from right to left starting with the ones column. The value of a number is determined by the column in which it appears.

Therefore, 5 in the tens column means 5x10 which can be written as 5 tens or 50.

NB 0 in any column means that there is nothing.
