Sorry one more q.
John and Ramesh had an equal number of sweets at first. After John bought another 8 sweets and Ramesh lost 12 sweets, John had thrice as many sweets as Ramesh. Find the numbers of sweets each of them had at first.
Can anyone help?
Anyone know of any good Math Tutor? At this rate, think my gal and I will die at the hands of this subject!!!![/quote]
At first, john = 22, Ramesh = 22[/quote] -
The answer sheet says 22 sweets for each child.
Do we always presume that 12+8 belongs to the 2 units? if this is so then 1 unit is 10 sweets, so both should have 10 sweets each at first. Why 22 sweets? Sorry I m slow in maths. -

Maybe you are shy in contacting me... keke
Since you know that 1 unit is 10 sweets now, but the question ask how many sweets do they each have at first..
Ramesh lost 12 sweets, and she had 10 sweets left now..
Therefore, 12 + 10 = 22.
Ramesh had 22 sweets at first. -

But several assessment books state the place value is just thousands in this case. Which one is correct? Thousands or 8000? Very confusing.
You thought right in the first place. Pardon the pun.rains:
Hi,
I got a question to ask:
I always thought that when you see the word 'place' ie. The digit 8 is in the _________ place, it means answers like 'thousands', 'hundreds' etc are required; and when they ask for 'value' ie. What is the value of '8', it means it wants answers like '8000'.
How about 'place value'? 'Thousands' or '8000'?
Take for example a given set of numbers - 18452. For place value, it means how much the digit 8 represents which in this case 8000 or 8 thousands. Another way this question is asked is \"What does the digit '8' stands for?\"
Thank you in advance -

I was going thro a question in an assessment book and the answer given was just 'thousands', which meant it wanted the 'place', essentially different from '8000' or '8 thousands' which is the 'value'.
It also means that the question 'What does the digit '8' stand for?' is different from 'What is the place value of the digit '8'?'. -

If the question asking the digit 8 is in which place means thousands place
place means the position..where is it?It is in tens place or hundreds place or, etc
If the question asking the value of the digit 8 means 8000.
If the question asking the digit 8 stands for means 8000.
stands for also same as value -
