The question

Which digit is in the ones of 647?

number:647
number:647
number:647
7
  1. Each column is worth ten times the one to its right. Counting them is what tells you the value; the name on its own is the thing that goes wrong under pressure.
  2. Nothing is circled here — the place is what you were given, so count in from the right until you reach the ones.
  3. The question wants the digit standing there, not what it is worth: 7.
