Understanding The Decimal Structure up to 10,000

Complete explanation with examples

The Decimal Structure

The decimal structure divides the number by positions accordingly:
ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands.
For example, in the number 65,79265,792
22 ones, 99 tens, 77 hundreds, 55 thousands, and 66 ten thousands.

Examples with solutions for The Decimal Structure up to 10,000

Step-by-step solutions included
Exercise #1

A thousand units is represented by a cube as shown below:

What number is represented by the cubes below?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the number of cubes in the representation.

  • Step 2: Calculate the total number represented by multiplying the number of cubes by 1,000.

  • Step 3: Match the result with the provided options.

Let's work through these steps:

Step 1: Counting the Cubes
The diagram shows a total of 6 cubes arranged in a 2-layer grid. This can be verified by counting each cube distinctly in the grid shown.

Step 2: Calculate the Total Number
Each cube stands for 1,000 units. Therefore, the total number represented by 6 cubes is:

6×1,000=6,000 6 \times 1,000 = 6,000

Step 3: Matching the Result
Out of the provided options, this matches with choice number 4: 6,000 6,000 .

Therefore, the number represented by the cubes is 6,000 6,000 .

Answer:

6000 6000

Exercise #2

A thousands units is represented by the cube below:

Which number is represented by the cubes below?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the number of units represented by the provided cube diagrams.

Let's follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify that each cube represents 1000 units.
  • Step 2: Look at the given diagram, which shows two 1000-unit cubes placed side by side.
  • Step 3: Count the number of cubes in this diagram and multiply by 1000 to determine the complete value.

Now, proceeding with the solution:

Step 1: The diagram shows 2 large cubes.
Step 2: Since each cube represents 1000 units, we multiply:

2×1000=2000 2 \times 1000 = 2000

Therefore, the cubes represent a total of 2000 units.

Thus, the number represented by the cubes is 2000 2000 .

Answer:

2000 2000

Exercise #3

Which number has the same thousands digit and tens digit?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we will examine each number given and evaluate the digits in the thousands and tens places:

  • 5105 5105 : The thousands digit is 5 5 and the tens digit is 0 0 . They are not the same.
  • 4140 4140 : The thousands digit is 4 4 and the tens digit is also 4 4 . They are the same.
  • 2333 2333 : The thousands digit is 2 2 and the tens digit is 3 3 . They are not the same.
  • 1121 1121 : The thousands digit is 1 1 and the tens digit is 2 2 . They are not the same.

Based on the analysis above, the only number in which the thousands digit is the same as the tens digit is 4140 4140 .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 4140 4140 .

Answer:

4140 4140

Exercise #4

Choose a number whose unit digit is three times greater than its tens digit.

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, choose a number from the options where the unit digit is three times the tens digit:

  • Option 1: 8642 8642
    Tens digit: 4 4 , Units digit: 2 2 .
    Units is not three times tens. Reject.
  • Option 2: 5846 5846
    Tens digit: 4 4 , Units digit: 6 6 .
    Units is not three times tens. Reject.
  • Option 3: 3257 3257
    Tens digit: 5 5 , Units digit: 7 7 .
    Units is not three times tens. Reject.
  • Option 4: 1426 1426
    Tens digit: 2 2 , Units digit: 6 6 .
    Six is three times two. Accept.

Thus, the correct number in question is 1426 1426 .

Answer:

1426 1426

Exercise #5

Which number has a thousands digit of 4 and a hundreds digit that is smaller than its thousands digit?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's start by considering the criteria:

  • The thousands digit of the number must be 4, which represents values in the format 4XXX 4XXX .
  • The hundreds digit must be less than 4, meaning it can be 0, 1, 2, or 3.

Given these constraints, let's consider the provided choices:

  1. 4321 4321 :
    - Thousands digit is 4.
    - Hundreds digit is 3 (which is less than 4).
    - This choice satisfies both conditions.
  2. 3321 3321 :
    - Thousands digit is 3.
    - This does not satisfy the condition of having a thousands digit of 4. Therefore, it's incorrect.
  3. 1200 1200 :
    - Thousands digit is 1.
    - This does not satisfy the condition of having a thousands digit of 4. Therefore, it's incorrect.
  4. 4789 4789 :
    - Thousands digit is 4.
    - Hundreds digit is 7 (which is not less than 4).
    - This choice does not satisfy the condition of having a hundreds digit less than the thousands digit. Therefore, it's incorrect.

Therefore, the number that meets all the conditions is 4321 4321 .

Answer:

4321 4321
