We have to explain that 1 hundred 4 tens and 14 tens name the same amount.
Consider 1 hundred 4 tens
Since, 1 hundred = 100
It can also be expressed as " 100 = 10 tens"
So, 1 hundred = 10 tens
Now, 1 hundred 4 tens = 1 hundred + 4 tens
= 10 tens + 4 tens
= 14 tens
= [tex]14 \times 10[/tex]
= 140
Consider 14 tens
= [tex]14 \times 10[/tex]
= 140
Therefore, 1 hundred 4 tens and 14 tens represents 140, so it represents the same amount.
