First Problem: The freight train with metal blocks
We are told:
- three thousands → that’s 3,000
- four hundreds → that’s 400
- five tens → that’s 50
- seven ones → that’s 7
Now add them together:
3,000 + 400 = 3,400
3,400 + 50 = 3,450
3,450 + 7 =
3,457
So the total number of metal blocks is
3,457.
