Question

Suppose you have only hundreds, tens, and ones blocks. What are two different ways you could make the number 1,718

Answer 1

So I only have ones, tens and hundreds block. I need to find a way how can I fit the given number 1 718.
=> Since I have hundreds block, I can divide 1 718 by 100
=> 1 718 / 100, how many 100s are there in 1 718
=> 17 hundreds
=> now we only have 18 left
=> 18 / 10, how many 10s are there in 18
=> 1 tens
=> Now we only have 8 left
=> 8 / 1, how many ones are there in 8
=> 8
=> 17 hundreds, 1 tens, and 8 ones.
