5003 Praxis Practice Test Practice Question
Which of the following is a decomposition of the number 1,260?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To decompose the number 1,260 accurately, we break it down into its place values.
Option A, "12 hundreds and 6 tens," incorrectly suggests that 1,260 can be represented as 1,200 + 60, which is not valid.
Option B, "12 hundreds and 60 tens," miscalculates the tens, as 60 tens would equal 600, totaling 12,600, which exceeds 1,260.
Option D, "1 thousand, 2 hundreds, and 60 tens," also misrepresents the tens, as 60 tens equals 600, leading to 1,200 + 600, totaling 1,800.
Option C accurately breaks down 1,260 into 1 thousand (1,000), 2 hundreds (200), and 60 tens (60), totaling 1,260.
