The correct spelling for the number 180 is "one hundred eighty". In IPA phonetic transcription, this can be represented as /wʌn ˈhʌndrəd ˈeɪti/. The "w" represents the "w" sound at the beginning of "one", while "ʌ" represents the "uh" sound in the same word. "ˈhʌndrəd" uses the "h" sound and short "u" sound, while "ˈeɪti" represents the long "a" sound in "eight" and the "i" sound in "ty". This spelling is important in clear communication and avoiding confusion in numerical contexts.
One hundred eighty, commonly written as 180, is a numeric term used to represent the quantity or value of one hundred times the number 1, added to eight times the number 10. It is derived from the combination of the two number words, "one hundred" and "eighty".
"One hundred" signifies the number that follows ninety-nine in the natural number sequence and is equivalent to 10 times 10. It is the product of ten multiplied by itself, representing a significant milestone in counting systems. As such, it is considered a round or whole number.

When "one hundred" and "eighty" are combined, "one hundred eighty" denotes the precise count and placement of 180 units or entities within a specific context. It can be used to measure or quantify a multitude of objects, values, or attributes, as well as represent specific time increments, such as seconds, minutes, or degrees.
The term "one hundred eighty" is often used in mathematics, finance, engineering, and various other fields, where accuracy and precision in numerical representations are crucial. Its usage is prevalent in daily life scenarios, such as counting money, measuring distances, or indicating an angle in degrees.
