Step by step
The question
Question: what number is 900 + 30?
900 + 30
1 Put each part in the chart
Here is a place-value chart.
900 is 9 hundreds.
The 9 goes in the hundreds.
30 is 3 tens.
The 3 goes in the tens.
There are no ones.
We write 0 in the ones.
2 Read the number
So the number is 930.
= 930
Careful!
Without the 0, the digits move to the wrong places.
The 0 holds the ones place.
Careful: not 93 ✗
3 Check
We split it again: 930 is 900 and 30.
Yes!
It works.
930 = 900 + 30
Let's look back.
First: put each part in the chart.
Then: read the number.
Last: check.
Answer
= 930
