Place Value Puzzle: Finding the Number 246 Using Digit Positions

To solve this problem, we'll construct the number using its digits based on their positional value:

• The hundreds digit is 2, giving $2 \times 100 = 200$.
• The tens digit is 4, giving $4 \times 10 = 40$.
• The units digit is 6, giving $6 \times 1 = 6$.

Now, sum the results to find the actual number:

$200 + 40 + 6 = 246$

Therefore, the number is $246$.

The correct choice from the options provided is $246$, which is choice 4.
