If we have 67 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 5 tens and 4 ones?
To solve this problem, let's consider the following steps:
After performing the above calculations, we confirm that the number of blocks remaining is .
If we have 85 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 4 tens and 1 one?
Because we're removing actual blocks, not just working with digits! When you remove 5 tens, you're taking away 50 individual blocks, not just the digit 5.
Always convert when you have mixed place values to subtract! This ensures you're working with the same units throughout your calculation.
Think of it like money: 5 tens = 5 ten-dollar bills = $50. You wouldn't subtract $5 from $67, you'd subtract the full $54 total!
Use addition to check: Add your answer to what you removed. If it equals the original amount, you're right! ✓
Yes! Picture the blocks shown in the diagram. Count out 6 groups of ten plus 7 single blocks. Then remove 5 groups of ten and 4 singles. Count what's left!
