The whole numbers that are more than 55 and less than 65 are these:

56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64

The first digit of 27 is 2, so it has 2 tens.
The second digit of 27 is 7, so it has 7 ones.

So since the second digit tells us how many ones, we will pick 57,
because 57 has its second digit as 7, the same as 27 has for its
second digit.
