Hey, young explorer! Have you ever seen the number 80 and wondered how to say it in words? It’s super easy, and I’m here to guide you like a friendly math buddy. By the end of this adventure, you’ll be a number-word wizard! Let’s dive in with a big smile.
First up: the number 80 is written as Eighty in English (say it like "AY-tee"). We use these words for awesome things like money, game points, or counting treasures. Writing numbers in words makes them clear and exciting for everyone.
Imagine you’re at a toy store and spot a fantastic board game for Rs. 80. You save up your pocket money and buy it! You tell your friends, “I spent Rupees Eighty on this awesome game!” Or maybe you’re counting 80 shiny marbles in your collection. You’d say, “I have Eighty marbles!” Words make your story pop, like adding colors to a picture.
Breaking It Down with a Place Value Chart
The easiest way to write 80 in words is with a place value chart. Think of it as a pirate map showing where each digit hides. For 80, we have two digits: 8 and 0. Each has a special spot, starting from the right.
Here’s the chart (picture a vibrant, colorful grid with each box holding a digit):
| Tens | Ones |
| 8 | 0 |
This chart shows the “expanded form,” like unfolding the number. For 80, it’s: 8 tens + 0 ones. In numbers, that’s 8 × 10 + 0 × 1, or 80 + 0 = 80.
To write it in words: “Eight” for the 8 in the tens place becomes “Eighty” because of the tens position, and we skip the zero since it adds nothing. Put it together: Eighty! Easy, right?
A Simpler Way to Understand
If charts feel a bit puzzling, try this: look at the number 80. The 8 is in the tens place, so it’s “Eight” with “-ty” added, making “Eighty.” The 0 in the ones place means no extra ones to add. It’s like saying, “Eighty, and that’s it!” Try it with a smaller number like 8 (“Eight”) to see how it grows into “Eighty” with a zero!
A Fun Way to Build the Words
Let’s make it a game, like building a tower:
8 is “Eight.”
Add a zero for 80: “Eighty.”
It’s like growing a tree from a tiny sprout! Try this with another number, like your favorite score in a game—it’s so much fun.
