Question

Mr. Chen is making green tea for customers in his restaurant. He needs a total of 512 grams of loose green tea. He only has 384 grams of tea. Mr. Chen says he still needs more than 200 grams of loose green tea because 5 hundreds - 3 hundreds = 2hundreds. Explain why Mr. Chen statement is incorrect

Answer 1

Mr. Chen's statement is incorrect because 5 hundreds - 3 hundreds does not equal 2 hundreds. 5 hundreds - 3 hundreds equals 2 hundreds and eighty, which is 288. Therefore, Mr. Chen needs a total of 512 - 384 = 128 grams of loose green tea.
