Let's solve the problem shown in the image step by step.
---
🔹 Understanding the Image
This is a visual representation of place value using
base-10 blocks (also known as
place value blocks). The chart shows different columns for:
- Hundred Thousand
- Ten Thousand
- Thousand
- Hundred
- Ten
- One
Each column contains blocks that represent the value of that place. We need to count how many blocks are in each column and then write the total number represented.
---
🔹 Step-by-step Counting
We go from left to right, starting with the highest place value.
#### 1.
Hundred Thousand
- There is
1 red square.
- Each red square =
100,000
- So:
→ 1 × 100,000 =
100,000
#### 2.
Ten Thousand
- There are
3 orange rods.
- Each rod =
10,000
- So:
→ 3 × 10,000 =
30,000
#### 3.
Thousand
- There are
2 purple cubes.
- Each cube =
1,000
- So:
→ 2 × 1,000 =
2,000
#### 4.
Hundred
- There are
4 green squares.
- Each green square =
100
- So:
→ 4 × 100 =
400
#### 5.
Ten
- There are
2 blue rods.
- Each blue rod =
10
- So:
→ 2 × 10 =
20
#### 6.
One
- There are
7 yellow cubes.
- Each yellow cube =
1
- So:
→ 7 × 1 =
7

🔹 Now Add Them All Together
Let’s add up all the values:
```
100,000 ← Hundred Thousand
+ 30,000 ← Ten Thousand
+ 2,000 ← Thousand
+ 400 ← Hundred
+ 20 ← Ten
+ 7 ← One
───────────────
= 132,427
```

✔ Final Answer: 132,427
This is the number represented by the blocks in the image.

📌 Summary
The image uses base-10 blocks to represent the number
132,427, broken down as:
- 1 hundred thousand
- 3 ten thousands
- 2 thousands
- 4 hundreds
- 2 tens
- 7 ones
So, the number is:
👉
132,427
