5 · 452 has 4 hundreds, 5 tens and 2 ones, so the tens digit is 5.
637 · 600 + 30 + 7 = 637.
two hundred and fifty-three · 253 has 2 hundreds, 5 tens, and 3 ones, so we say 'two hundred and fifty-three'.
637 · 600 gives the hundreds digit, 30 gives the tens digit, and 7 gives the ones digit: 637.
569 · 500 + 60 + 9 = 569.
529 · 500 + 20 + 9 lines up the hundreds, tens, and ones digits to make 529.
Three hundred and forty-two · 342 is three hundred and forty-two.
False · Lena is wrong: 715 is seven hundred and fifteen.
She turned the ones digit into a tens word, ignoring the zero in the tens place · 705 has 0 tens and 5 ones, so it should be read 'seven hundred and five', not 'fifty'.
Nine hundred and nine · 909 is nine hundred and nine.
