3 units / three ones.
( the value of the 1 in 13 is ten / one ten )
Jupiter7 You should then ask what is value of 3 in 31 or even 311. The value of 3 changes with its position.
In the case, of 31 it represents 3 tens ... in the second case, it represents 3 hundreds.

I think that you KNOW these answers - you just don't understand the question! That's modern maths for you!

Thank you so much, after seeing your answer it made sense, but at the time it sounded like double dutch! Give me spelling any day!
As a professional mathematician, I am only too pleased to help spread "the word".
