Answer

To find the sum of the place values of 2 in the number 2424, we will follow these steps:

1. **Identify the positions of the digits in the number**: The number 2424 has four digits. From left to right, the positions are:
- 2 (thousands place)
- 4 (hundreds place)
- 2 (tens place)
- 4 (units place)

2. **Determine the place value of each 2**:
- The first 2 is in the thousands place, so its place value is:
\[ 2 \times 1000 = 2000 \]
- The second 2 is in the tens place, so its place value is:
\[ 2 \times 10 = 20 \]

3. **Add the place values of both 2s**:
- Now, we will sum the place values we calculated:
\[ 2000 + 20 = 2020 \]

Thus, the sum of the place values of 2 in the number 2424 is **2020**.
