Let's solve this step-by-step.
This worksheet is about understanding
place value using base-10 blocks:
- A
flat = 100 (a hundred)
- A
long = 10 (a ten)
- A
one = 1 (a unit)
We need to convert each description into a number by calculating:
> (Number of flats × 100) + (Number of longs × 10) + (Number of ones × 1)

Let's go through each problem:
---
1. I have 4 flats, 8 longs and 14 ones.
- 4 flats = 4 × 100 = 400
- 8 longs = 8 × 10 = 80
- 14 ones = 14 × 1 = 14
- Total = 400 + 80 + 14 =
494
✔ Answer: 494

2. I have 12 longs, 9 ones and 6 flats.
- 6 flats = 6 × 100 = 600
- 12 longs = 12 × 10 = 120
- 9 ones = 9 × 1 = 9
- Total = 600 + 120 + 9 =
729
✔ Answer: 729

3. I have 10 ones, 7 flats and 6 longs.
- 7 flats = 7 × 100 = 700
- 6 longs = 6 × 10 = 60
- 10 ones = 10 × 1 = 10
- Total = 700 + 60 + 10 =
770
✔ Answer: 770

4. I have 12 longs, 6 ones and 5 flats.
- 5 flats = 5 × 100 = 500
- 12 longs = 12 × 10 = 120
- 6 ones = 6 × 1 = 6
- Total = 500 + 120 + 6 =
626
✔ Answer: 626
---
5. I have 8 ones, 8 flats and 14 longs.
- 8 flats = 8 × 100 = 800
- 14 longs = 14 × 10 = 140
- 8 ones = 8 × 1 = 8
- Total = 800 + 140 + 8 =
948
✔ Answer: 948

6. I have 1 long, 15 ones and 8 flats.
- 8 flats = 8 × 100 = 800
- 1 long = 1 × 10 = 10
- 15 ones = 15 × 1 = 15
- Total = 800 + 10 + 15 =
825
✔ Answer: 825
---
7. I have 4 ones, 12 longs and 2 flats.
- 2 flats = 2 × 100 = 200
- 12 longs = 12 × 10 = 120
- 4 ones = 4 × 1 = 4
- Total = 200 + 120 + 4 =
324
✔ Answer: 324

8. I have 8 longs, 5 longs and 10 ones.
Wait — this says "8 longs, 5 longs" — that’s probably a typo or misphrasing. But let’s read it carefully:
> "I have 8 longs, 5 longs and 10 ones."
That seems like a mistake — two separate "longs" values? Probably meant to be:
“I have 8 longs, 5 flats and 10 ones” — but the original says “5 longs”.
Wait, let’s check again:
"I have 8 longs, 5 longs and 10 ones."
That would be 8 + 5 = 13 longs.
But no mention of flats.
So:
- Longs: 8 + 5 = 13 longs → 13 × 10 = 130
- Ones: 10 × 1 = 10
- Flats: 0
Total = 130 + 10 =
140
But wait — maybe it's a typo and should be “5 flats”? That would make more sense.
But as written:
"8 longs, 5 longs and 10 ones" → total of 13 longs.
So:
- 13 longs = 130
- 10 ones = 10
- No flats → 0
Total =
140
✔ Answer: 140
(Though possibly intended as 8 longs, 5 flats, 10 ones → then it’d be 80 + 500 + 10 = 590. But based on text, we go with what’s written.)

9. I have 14 longs, 4 flats and 6 ones.
- 4 flats = 4 × 100 = 400
- 14 longs = 14 × 10 = 140
- 6 ones = 6
- Total = 400 + 140 + 6 =
546
✔ Answer: 546

10. I have 5 flats, 15 ones and 4 longs.
- 5 flats = 5 × 100 = 500
- 4 longs = 4 × 10 = 40
- 15 ones = 15
- Total = 500 + 40 + 15 =
555
