Choose the number that has a tens digit of 6 and is less than 67.
To solve this problem, we need to identify the number that meets two conditions: having a tens digit of 6 and being less than 67.
First, let's list the numbers between 60 and 69, inclusive, that potentially have a tens digit of 6:
Next, we apply the constraint that the number must be less than 67. Re-evaluating our list, we focus on numbers less than 67:
All these numbers have a tens digit of 6 and are less than 67.
The problem requires choosing one number, and among the answer choices provided, only 61 matches both conditions established (tens digit of 6 and less than 67).
Therefore, the solution to this problem is , corresponding to choice id 2.
What number do the blue squares below represent?
The tens digit is always the second number from the right! In 61, the tens digit is 6 and the units digit is 1. Think of it as counting places: units (1st), tens (2nd), hundreds (3rd).
Both 68 and 69 have a tens digit of 6, but they don't meet the second condition! The problem says the number must be less than 67, and both 68 > 67 and 69 > 67.
Always read the question carefully! This problem asks to choose the number (singular), so there should be only one correct answer that meets both conditions.
Make a simple checklist:
Then both 61 and 67 would work! The number 67 has tens digit 6 and 67 ≤ 67 is true. Always pay attention to whether the inequality includes the boundary number.
