Heidi says 381= 2 hundreds, 7 tens, 11 ones. Do you agree? Explain.
No.
381 has 3 hundreds.
thank you
You're welcome.
To determine if Heidi's statement is correct, we need to understand how place value works. In our number system, each digit's value depends on its position in the number.
In the number 381, we have:
- The digit 3 in the hundreds place, which means it represents 3 groups of 100.
- The digit 8 in the tens place, which means it represents 8 groups of 10.
- The digit 1 in the ones place, which means it represents 1 group of 1.
So according to Heidi's statement, we have 2 hundreds, 7 tens, and 11 ones. This implies that the number 381 should be written as 200 + 70 + 11.
To check if Heidi's statement is true, we can simply add 200, 70, and 11 together:
200 + 70 + 11 = 281
However, this does not equal 381. Therefore, it can be concluded that Heidi's statement is not correct.
