To sign "eighty," start by forming the ASL number eight with your dominant hand. Hold your hand up around shoulder height with your palm facing outward, touching your middle finger to your thumb while keeping your index, ring, and pinky fingers extended. Then, smoothly transition into the ASL number zero by curving all your fingers to touch your thumb, forming an "O" shape.
Sign "eighty" after signing "age" to indicate her age. Make sure the transition from the 8 handshape to the 0 handshape is clear and fluid.
Sign "speed limit" followed by "eighty." Keep your hand steady in one place while forming the numbers 8 and 0 so it reads as a single two-digit number.
Sign "eighty" and then the sign for "dollars." Ensure your palm faces outward for the number 8 before closing your fingers into the 0.

No, you should keep your hand in one steady location, usually around shoulder height. Just change the handshape from 8 to 0 without moving your arm side-to-side or bouncing your hand.
Your palm should face outward, toward the person you are signing to. Keep this orientation consistent for both the 8 and the 0 to ensure the numbers are easily readable.
The base number is the same, but when signing an age, you often start the number at your chin (the location for 'age') and pull outward as you form the 8 and 0. For general counting, just keep your hand steady in front of your shoulder.
