To determine how many blocks remain, follow these steps:
After performing these calculations, we find that the number of blocks remaining is .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
If we have 85 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 4 tens and 1 one?
Because place value matters! When you remove '5 tens', you're actually removing individual blocks, not just 5 blocks. You need to convert everything to the same unit first.
Remember: 1 ten = 10 ones. So 5 tens = ones. Always multiply the number of tens by 10 to get the equivalent ones.
Same rule applies! Convert everything to the smallest unit: 1 hundred = 100 ones, 1 thousand = 1000 ones. Then add up all the blocks being removed before subtracting.
Yes! Think of it like removing whole groups plus extras: You're taking away 5 complete groups of 10 blocks each, plus 4 individual blocks. That's blocks total.
Ask yourself: Does removing 54 blocks from 55 blocks leave just 1 block? Also, your remaining blocks should always be less than what you started with.
