To find the place value of the first digit of the quotient, we need to divide 543 by 7, and then look at the resulting quotient.

To distribute the marbles equally among 7 friends, we divide the total number of marbles (543) by the number of friends (7).

Let's perform the division:

77
________
7 | 543
- 49
------
93
- 91
----
23

The quotient is 77 with a remainder of 2 (23 remainder 2).

Now, we can see that the first digit of the quotient is 7. Therefore, the first digit of the quotient is in the tens place.

It's in the 10s place.
