Sample math

Homework

A.    Solve the following using the  place value

957  :-  5
754  :-  8
872  :-  7
269  :-  4
685  :-  6


e.g. 234   : 5 =

So here is how you solve it.
First create a place value chart

hundreds   tens      ones
2                  3          4


Next see can you make 5 groups of 2 hundreds -No
so you re-group the 2 hundreds as 20 tens. So now we have 23 tens.
Can we groups them in group in 5 equal groups. Yes
we can have 4 tens in each groups and I have 3 tens remaining.

So now I have  3 tens and 4 ones which makes it 34 ones.
Can I group them in 5 groups. Yes
I will have 6 ones in each and 4 remaining.

So my answer is 4 tens and 6 ones and 4 remaining
which means I have 46 and 4 remainder


B.        Solve the word problems and label your answers.

C.         S. Studies solve # 6,7 and 8 from week 8 articles. Make sure you show me where you found these answers from (Name of the article)

e.g. Math

5 hundreds  x 10 = _______ones
                             ________hundreds
                             _________thousands
                             __________tens

This is how you could  solve

5 hundreds in standard form= 500 so
500 x 10= 5000
since ones have no zeros it has 5000 ones
hundreds have 2 zeros so I can take off 2 zeros or divide by 100 = 50 hundreds
thousands have 3 zeros so I can take off 3 zeros or divide by 1000= 5 thousands
tens has 1 zero so I can take off 1 zero or divide by 10 - 500 tens
