Math Problem Statement

So the 1 in 10 stands for the 1 ten, but 0, um, nothing?

Solution

Yes, exactly! The "1" in 10 represents 1 ten, and the "0" means there are 0 ones. So:

  • The number 10 is made up of 1 ten (which equals 10) and 0 ones (which adds nothing extra).

In simpler terms, the "0" means there's no leftover or extra ones besides the ten.

To explain further:

  • If we increase the number to 11, the "1" in the ones place would mean 1 one (so 1 ten + 1 one = 11).
  • If the number is 10, it's just 1 ten and no additional ones.
