Question

Example 5:

Mrs. Williams writes the following number on the board.
276,954
She instructs her students to write a number where the value of the 6 in their number is 10
times greater than the value of the 6 in the number on the board. Duwan writes the number
286,123. Is his answer correct? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

No Duwan is in incorrect.

Explanation:

When it asks for a number to be 10x greater, the answer would be in a digit that is 1 greater. For example 10x greater than 10 would be 100. You move the digit up once. An answer that Duwan could have used is: 260,000.
