Question

I have 1 hundreds, 4 ones, 2 tens, and 1 tenths. What number am I?

Answer 1

I think it might be 124.1

Answer 2

The unknown number is 124.1.

Explanation:

Let the unknown number be x.

We know that

1 hundreds = 100 ones

1 tens = 10 ones

1 tenth = 0.1 ones

It is given that the number has 1 hundreds, 4 ones, 2 tens, and 1 tenths.

x = 1 hundreds + 2 tens + 4 ones + 1 tenths.

Using the above conversions we get

`x=1* 100+2* 10+4* 1+1* 0.1`

`x=100+20+4+0.1`

`x=124.1`

Therefore the unknown number is 124.1.
