Step by step
The question
Question: write seventy-five as a number.
Write seventy-five as a number
1 Find the tens
seventy means 7 tens.
seventy → 7 tens
2 Find the ones
five means 5 ones.
five → 5 ones
3 Write the digits
7 goes in the tens.
5 goes in the ones.
So seventy-five is 75.
= 75
Careful!
We do not write 70 and then 5.
The 5 goes in the ones place.
Careful: not 705 ✗
4 Check
We read it back: 75 is seventy-five.
Yes!
It works.
75 → seventy-five
Let's look back.
First: find the tens.
Then: find the ones.
Then: write the digits.
Last: check.
Answer
= 75
