In the number 330, the leftmost 3 is in the hundreds place, which means it represents \(300\) (3 multiplied by 100). The 3 to its right is in the tens place, representing \(30\) (3 multiplied by 10).
To compare their place values:
- The leftmost 3 (hundreds place) is worth \(300\).
- The 3 to its right (tens place) is worth \(30\).
Therefore, the place value of the leftmost 3 (hundreds) is 10 times greater than the place value of the digit 3 to its right (tens).
