The question
Question: write 44 in words.
Write 44 in words
1 Split into tens and ones
44 is 4 tens and 4 ones.
That is 40 and 4.
44 = 40 + 4
2 Say each part
40 is forty.
40 → forty
4 is four.
4 → four
3 Write the word
We join them with a dash: forty-four.
= forty-four
Careful!
Four has a u.
Forty does not.
Careful: not fourty-four ✗
4 Check
We read it back.
Forty is 40, four is 4.
Together 44.
Yes!
It works.
forty-four → 40 + 4 = 44
