Question 3

Liam has 582 building blocks. He wants to figure out how many hundreds, tens, and ones blocks he has. Which explanation shows the correct strategy to solve this place‑value problem?

Accepted Answer

Look at the first digit (5) – it tells how many hundreds. Then look at the second digit (8) – it tells how many tens. Finally, the last digit (2) tells how many ones.

Answer

Add the three digits together (5 + 8 + 2 = 15) and say there are 15 hundreds, because the total of the digits gives the number of hundreds.

Answer

Start counting from the rightmost digit: the 2 is the hundreds, the 8 is the tens, and the 5 is the ones.

Answer

Treat the number as 5 hundreds and 82 ones, ignoring the tens place completely.
