I am getting so confused with my math problems... Can you help me please?... The question is - Rounded to the nearest ten I am 800. I am not odd. All of my places have a value greater than 0. The number in my ones place is 1 less than the number in my tens place...
The number must be one of these:
796, 798, 802, 804
We can eliminate the last two.
What is the number?
I am so sorry, but I am still confused especially when I read the last part of the problem... The number in my ones place is 1 less than the number in my tens place...
796 >> 9 is in the tens place; 6 is in the 1s in the ones place.
9 - 6 = ?
798
Which number is in the tens place?
Which number is in the ones place?
Of course, I'd be happy to help you with your math problem!
Let's break down the given information and solve the problem step by step.
The first clue states that when rounded to the nearest ten, the number is 800. This means the original number is somewhere between 795 and 805. Since we know that the number rounded up to 800, it means it is closer to 805 than to 795.
The second clue tells us that the number is not odd. Therefore, it must be an even number.
The third clue states that all of the places (ones, tens, etc.) have a value greater than zero. This means that the number cannot be, for example, 700, as the hundreds and tens places would have zeros.
Finally, the fourth clue tells us that the number in the ones place is one less than the number in the tens place. This means that the tens digit is one more than the ones digit.
Using this information, let's try to find the correct number:
We know that the number is closer to 805 than to 795. Since the ones digit is one less than the tens digit, let's try numbers in the threes place and the fours place to see if we can find the right answer.
If we try a number like 803, it is not rounded up to 800 when rounded to the nearest ten. Let's try another number.
If we try 804, it gets rounded up to 810 when rounded to the nearest ten. Since the question states that the rounded number is 800, 804 is not the correct number. Let's try one more.
If we try 805, it rounds down to 800 when rounded to the nearest ten. This number satisfies all the given clues: it is closer to 805 than to 795, it is an even number, all of its places have a value greater than zero, and the ones digit (5) is one less than the tens digit (6).
Therefore, the answer to the problem is 805.
