Remove Tens Digit from 447: Base-10 Block Transformation

Question

If in total we have 447 blocks,

and we only remove the tens,

write down the resulting exercise:

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to "remove the tens" from the total number of blocks, which is 447:

  • Step 1: Identify the tens digit in 447. The number 447 consists of the hundreds digit as 4, the tens digit as 4, and the units digit as 7.
  • Step 2: Determine the value of the tens digit. The tens digit 4 represents a total value of 4×10=404 \times 10 = 40.
  • Step 3: Subtract the tens value from the total. We subtract 40 from 447: 44740=407 447 - 40 = 407

Therefore, the result of removing the tens from 447 is 44740=407 447 - 40 = 407 .

This exercise corresponds to choice id="2": 44740=407 447-40=407 .

Answer

44740=407 447-40=407
