Question

complete the equations.
300 = 3 hundreds + 0 tens + 0 ones
300 = 0 hundreds + \square tens + 0 ones
300 = 0 hundreds + 0 tens + \square ones

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the second equation

We know that 1 ten is 10, so let the number of tens be \( x \). The equation is \( 300 = 0\times100 + x\times10 + 0\times1 \). Simplifying, we get \( 300 = 10x \). To find \( x \), we divide both sides by 10: \( x=\frac{300}{10}=30 \).

Step2: Analyze the third equation

We know that 1 one is 1, so let the number of ones be \( y \). The equation is \( 300 = 0\times100 + 0\times10 + y\times1 \). Simplifying, we get \( 300 = y \).

Answer:

For the second equation, the number of tens is 30. For the third equation, the number of ones is 300. So filling in the boxes:

• The second box (tens) is 30.
• The third box (ones) is 300.
