How it works
A number can be written with digits, with words, or stretched into parts.
Say 413 as four hundred thirteen. Stretch it as 400 + 10 + 3.
Each part is a place: hundreds, tens, ones.
Worked examples
Stretch it out
- 691 = ? + ? + ?
- Say what each digit is worth.
- Write the parts as an addition.
- So the answer is 600, 90, 1.
Put the parts together
- ? = 400 + 10 + 3
- Add the hundreds, tens and ones.
- Write the number as digits.
- So the answer is 413.
Words to digits
- eight hundred seven: ?
- Listen for the hundreds first, then the tens and ones.
- Write a zero for a place you didn't hear.
- So the answer is 807.
