To determine between which two multiples of 10 the number 64 falls, we first need to identify the nearest multiples of 10 surrounding the number.

Step 1: Identify the multiples of 10.

  • The multiples of 10 are: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and so on.

Step 2: Look for the multiples of 10 that are closest to 64.

  • The multiple of 10 just below 64 is 60.
  • The multiple of 10 just above 64 is 70.

Step 3: Conclude the placement of 64 on the number line.

Thus, the number 64 falls between the multiples of 10, 60 and 70.
