i have 6 hundreds. i have 3 more tens than hundreds. i have two fewer hundreds than ones. who am i?
698 687 676
H = hundreds
T = tens
O = ones
Your number:
HTO
I have 6 hundreds:
H = 6
I have 3 more tens than hundreds:
T = H + 3
T = 6 + 3
T = 9
I have two fewer hundreds than ones:
H = O - 2
6 = O - 2
Add 2 to both sides
8 = O
O = 8
Your number:
HTO
698
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.
1) You have 6 hundreds. This means you have 600 in total.
2) You have 3 more tens than hundreds. Since you have 6 hundreds, you would have 6 + 3 = 9 tens.
3) You have two fewer hundreds than ones. Let's denote the number of ones as x. According to the information given, x - 2 = 6. By adding 2 to both sides of the equation, you get x = 8.
Therefore, you have 600 in the hundreds place, 9 tens, and 8 ones. Putting it all together, you are the number 689.
