So the 1 in 10 stands for the 1 ten, but 0, um, nothing?

Yes, exactly! The "1" in **10** represents **1 ten**, and the "0" means there are **0 ones**. So:

- The number **10** is made up of **1 ten** (which equals 10) and **0 ones** (which adds nothing extra).
  
In simpler terms, the "0" means there's no leftover or extra ones besides the ten.

To explain further:
- If we increase the number to **11**, the "1" in the ones place would mean **1 one** (so 1 ten + 1 one = 11).
- If the number is **10**, it's just 1 ten and no additional ones.
