The number of locks is 9 in the ones place the number in the hundreds place is one more than the number in the tens place those two numbers equal 11 how many blocks are there
well, 6+5 = 11
The rest is given
To find the number of blocks, we first need to determine the digits in the ones, tens, and hundreds places of the number.
Let's start with the clue that "the number of locks is 9 in the ones place." This means that the digit in the ones place is 9.
Next, we know that "the number in the hundreds place is one more than the number in the tens place." Let's denote the digit in the tens place as x. According to the clue, the digit in the hundreds place would then be x + 1.
According to the second clue, "those two numbers equal 11." In other words, the sum of the digits in the hundreds and tens places is equal to 11. Using our previous notation, this gives us the equation: (x + 1) + x = 11.
Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of x. Simplifying the equation, we get: 2x + 1 = 11. Subtracting 1 from both sides, we have: 2x = 10. Finally, dividing both sides by 2, we find: x = 5.
So, the digit in the tens place is 5. We already know that the digit in the ones place is 9. Lastly, the digit in the hundreds place is one more than the number in the tens place, which is 5 + 1 = 6.
Therefore, the number of blocks is 659.
