    The place value of micrometers is the millionths.

    Explanation:

    Place value is how much a digit is worth according to the position it has in the number.

    In a one digit number, the only digit is in the place of the ones. That means, that the digit is itself. For instance 8, values 8 * 1, because it is in the place of the ones.

    In a two digit numbers, the number to the right is in the place of the ones, and the number to the left is in the place of the tens. Then, the number on the left values 10 times itself. For instance in the number 28, 8 values 8*1 and 2 values 2*10 = 20. That makes 20 + 8 = 28.

    From rigth to left the place values are:

    Ones Tens Hundreds Thousands Ten-thousands Hundred-thousands Millions

    For the decimals, you count the place values from left to right. They are:

    Tenths Hundreths Thousandths Ten-thousanths Hundred-thousanths Millionths

    Micrometers is a unit that is one-millionth of a meter:

    1 mcirometer = 10⁻⁶ meter 1 micrometer = 0.000001 meter

    Hence, the place value of micrometers is the millionths.
