This is a 3rd grade math problem that my son had on homework. Can you explain how to derive the answer for this problem? The problem, as wriitten, is below....
I have 10 thousands, 11 tens, 12 hundreds, and 0 ones. What number am I?
Thank you
Study this place value chart.

11,211
11'2111
11,310
I think it's 11,211.
10 thousands = 10 000
11 tens = 110
12 hundreds = 1 200
0 ones = 0
---------------------
11 310
It is 11 310
To derive the answer for this problem, we need to understand the place value system. The place value system is a way of representing numbers based on the position or place of digits in a number. In this system, each digit has a specific value depending on its position.
Let's break down the given information:
"I have 10 thousands": This means we have 10 digits in the thousands place, which is 10,000 x 10 = 100,000.
"11 tens": This means we have 11 digits in the tens place, which is 10 x 11 = 110.
"12 hundreds": This means we have 12 digits in the hundreds place, which is 100 x 12 = 1,200.
"0 ones": Since we have zero digits in the ones place, its value is 0.
Now, let's add up the values we obtained from each place:
100,000 (thousands) + 110 (tens) + 1,200 (hundreds) + 0 (ones) = 101,310.
Therefore, the answer to the problem is 101,310.
