Question

How many tens are in one hundred?

Answer 1

Hint: We have to find how many tens are in $100$. To determine this, we want to know how many ${10}^{\prime }s$ fit into $100$ . So we will divide the number by $10$ and get the result. We will use the basic arithmetic operation i.e. division. It is usually denoted by $÷$ .

Complete step by step solution:
Here we have to find the number of $10$ in $100$ .
We will directly use the division method . So we will make $100$ by $10$ .
This can be mathematically represented by the equation
${\displaystyle \frac{100}{10}}$ .
We should keep in mind that in the above expression $100$ is called the dividend.
And the ${}^{\prime }{10}^{\prime }$following the division symbol or the number that is in the denominator is called the divisor. So after dividing this the number which we will get is called the quotient.
Now upon dividing the expression it gives us value
 $10$ .
Here ${}^{\prime }{10}^{\prime }$ is the quotient.
So we can say that there are $10$ tens in $100$ .
Hence the required answer is $10$ .
So, the correct answer is “10”.

Note: We should be careful that in this question the term ${}^{\prime }ten{s}^{\prime }$ here represents the number not the place value. We have to find that number. We should note that in Indian number system we use the place values such as: Ones, Tens, Hundred, Thousands… and so on.
So in the number $100$ ,
The digit at ones place is $0$,
The digit at tens place is $0$
And the digit at hundredth place is $1$
