Question

draw or write to explain why 1 hundred 4tens and 14 tens name the same amount.

Answer 1

We have to explain that  1 hundred 4 tens and 14 tens name the same amount.

Consider 1 hundred 4 tens

Since, 1 hundred = 100

It can also be expressed as " 100 = 10 tens"

So, 1 hundred = 10 tens

Now, 1 hundred 4 tens = 1 hundred + 4 tens

= 10 tens + 4 tens

= 14 tens

= $14 \times 10$

= 140

Consider 14 tens

= $14 \times 10$

= 140

Therefore, 1 hundred 4 tens and 14 tens represents 140, so it represents the same amount.
