    IT CAN BE 40,42 AND 46 BECAUSE THEY HAVE 4 TENTHS I KNOW THIS BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE 4 IN THEIR NUMBER.IT CANT BE 30,20 OR 10 BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE 4 IN IT.

    Two tens=20
    Nine ones=9
    20+9=29
    29 is greater than 27 by 2.

    Bronze
    It can be 43,45,47,48
    It cant be 23,67,98

    Silver
    Faith has 27 and Jessica has 29 so Jessica has more

  20. Insherah A.

    Silver:-
    Faith: 27 ones -> 27 x 1 = 27
    Jessica: 2 tens and 9 ones -> 2 x 10 and 9 x 1 -> 20 + 9 = 29

    Jessica has largest number because 29 is bigger than 27.

  21. Zack W.

    Bronze – number it could be 40, 45 and 49
    numbers it cant be 51, 100 and 6

    Silver – Jessica because she has 2 tens and 9 ones. Equals 29. Faith has 27. 29 is bigger then 27.

    Gold – Yes, example if he has 29 + 10 = 39. Number always goes up by 10. Last number stays the same.

    Platinum – isla has 32. Then 7 x 10 = 70. 70 + 32 = 102. £1 = 100. Isla is correct

  22. Lily W.

    Bronze:
    The number could be 40,42,48.
    The number cannot be any number that does not have four tens eg. 35,66,78.
    Silver:
    Jessica has largest number because-
    27 ones =27
    Two tens=20
    Nine ones=9
    20+9=29
    29 is greater than 27 by 2.
    Gold:
    Yes he is correct as if only adding in units of ten only the ten column would change and the ones would remain the same.
    Platinum:
    Yes she is correct as-
    7x10p=70p
    70p+32p=£1.02p

  23. Kian D.

    Platinum – yes she has more than £1

    7 X 10p =70p+ 32p = 102p
    £1.02

  24. Aryan K.

    Bronze –

    41,43,46.

    1,10,77.

  25. Aisha A.

    Bronze
    It can be 40, 41, 49
    It can’t be 20,90,30

    Silver
    Jessica has more than Faith because Jessica has 29 which is more than 27.

    Gold
    Habib is right because adding ten only changes the numbers in the tens column and not in the ones column

    Platinum
    She is right because 7(10)+ 32 = 102p which is more than £1

  26. Sofia S.

    BRONZE:
    Alex can make 40, 46 and 48 because the the possible numbers have 4 tens.
    Alex can’t make 31, 74 and 23 because they don’t have 4 in the tens column.

    SILVER:
    Jessica has more because Faith has 7 ones with a total of 27 and Jessica has 9 ones with a total of 29.

    GOLD:
    He is right because for example 11+10=21, 10 has a 0 in the ones column so will stay as 1, to prove this further if ypu again add 10 to 21 the 1 still remains the same as your total is now 31. Only the tens column will continue to change.

    PLATINUM:
    She is correct because 7×10=70 and 70+32=`102 which in pounds is £1.02p so she has more than £1, which is written as £1.00p.

    😊

  27. Zubair E.

    32+70=102p= 1 pound and 2 pence.
    So she is right, she got more than 1 pound.

  28. Patrick V.

    BRONZE

    It can be 40,45,49,47,46,41 and it can’t be 50,30,100,58,65 or 2018 and it can be more numbers.

    SILVER

    Jessica has more than Faith, because Faith has 27 ones and Jessica has 2 tens and 9 ones that means Jessica has 29 ones, so Jessica has the largest number.

    GOLD
    He is correct ,because the ones in the teen numbers always are the same way. Example 10+7=17 and the 17 has the same ones like 7. If you put more than 1 ten,in my example 7 will always be the same. 17+10=27
    27+10=37
    37+10=4

    PLATINUM

    She is correct because 32+70=102 , so she has 102p that means she has more than 1 pond which is 100p.

  29. Jason K.

    Homework

  30. Zubair E.

    Habib is right because if you add ten to 15, it will be 25. in 15 and 25 the ones are the same.
