Question

A large grocery store received an order of 2 thousand apples. A neighboring school received an order of 20 boxes of apples with 100 apples In each. Use disks or disks on a place value chart to compare the number of apples received by the school and the number of apples received by the grocery store

Answer 1

Total number of apples received by a large grocery store = 2 thousand apples

= 2000 apples.

Total number of boxes of apples received by a neighboring school = 20 boxes

Number of apples in each box = 100 apples

Therefore, the total number of apples received by neighboring school

=
`20 * 100`

= 2000 apples.

Refer to the image for place value disk chart.

Hence, the number of apples received by the school and the number of apples received by the grocery store are equal.
