Question

Yolanda says 105 is the same as 50 because 10x5 equals 50. What was yolanda's mistake

Answer 1

Answer: Yolanda's mistake is that she is assuming 105 is same as 10 x 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:Here 105 represents a three digit number where 1 is at hundreds place,0 is at tens place and 5 is at once place and it can be written as the product of its factors 5 and 21 i.e 105=5×21 =21+21+21+21+21+21=105(by adding once place and tens place), where as 10×5 represents 5 times number 10 i.e.10+10+10+10+10=50(by adding once place and tens place)

So ,assuming 105 is same as 10 x 5 is her mistake.
