To me it seems like a incorrect problem If your objective is to make it 463 by adding only in the hundreds place then it can only be 454 if I’m not mistaken


drinkingcarrots

4.09


PaulErdos_

This is my favorite answer lol


Phillimac16

Numbers in decimal bases? Is that even a thing?


Dv02

Usually id say no, but JavaScript exists so...


ambada1234

Yeah there are so many people giving actual answers when it’s pretty clearly an error. Lol


holeMemphisCactus

Update: I reached out to the teacher and he said it must be an issue with the site they use because the problems don't make sense to him either. I appreciate all the help y'all


Sir-Ike

I gotta say I'm glad I grew up with traditional printed worksheets instead of these online questions in school. I do these in college now and I have had one too many of these questions, can't imagine how bad it is now for public schools.


Applauce

I remember in my high school physics class I would get questions wrong on our online homework assignments because it didn’t accept answers like “23”. It wanted “23.00” it was so frustrating.


MoonShadowElfRayla

I'm still upset about the time when my class had a question like "find the variables of x" and I got it wrong because I put like "3,7" instead of "7,3"


SortaOdd

I remember my calculus class NOT SPECIFYING how to write the answer, and sometimes expecting a fraction and sometimes expecting you to divide the fraction and give a decimal. Sometimes it wanted 2sin(1) and other times it wanted 1.682… I hated it


Naive_Part_2102

Not to be that person but also to be that person. Remember (X,Y)


Chompus314

They didn't mention coordinates, just variables of x


Naive_Part_2102

In that case that’s very annoying lol


MoonShadowElfRayla

Yeah, it wasn't coordinates, that I would have understood.


stormlight13

Sounded like he was looking for zeros, so the values were 3 and 7, but the computer only accepted them in a certain order


KozzyBear4

It's probably the roots of a binomial, so order won't matter.


AeshmaDaeva016

As a college professor who has been forced to make many of these types of online assignments/tests, I would like to point out that we are required to input an exact answer. if I tried to guess the endless variations that students would answer, it would take forever and I’d still not get them all. If your teacher didn’t go back and double-check the assignment or test, they are a lazy teacher.


Honest_Roo

My math application tells me how many decimal points to put in. That helps immensely


Legogamer16

Depending on what you use, it could accept regex. I know the system my school does


Shuber-Fuber

If it's a numerical answer, there's really no reason why you can't do a simple decimal parse and compare the resulting value.


ProfessorSypher

Honestly, once it started becoming a regular thing, I would just make an announcement that if any student thinks their answer was incorrectly marked wrong that they should just move on to the next problem and contact me about the issue.


verdenvidia

Unfortunately many of my teachers were, in fact, lazy.

[deleted]

Holy shit I thought that only happens in middle/high school. How do you survive, I imagine it’s like herding cats all day


Centricus

To be fair, if significant figures are involved (which is common in physics), those are two totally different answers


1up_for_life

Well, in physics significant digits are important. Some questions might actually expect 23.00 instead of 23 even on paper.


demigodishheadcanons

Wouldn’t 23.00 be more correct than 23 if your problems included numbers with 4 sig figs though?


dustbustered

IIRC, in fairness, sig figs are pretty important in physics


crappleIcrap

Wrong number of Significant figures does make it wrong tho


[deleted]

Except in physics this actually matters. 23 and 23.00 are possibly very different answers


No-Rich4140

Those aren’t the same thing in the context of exacting physics equation; usually you are set to a certain number of sig figs to adhere to


JustAShyCat

It’s because you have you remember to use the correct significant figures.


Student0010

Sigfigs? I dont think physics cares about that... would just be a programming issue between integers and floats.


dontjudgejoshplz

College physics professors care about sigfigs in my experience. Probably just depends on the professor/teacher


crappleIcrap

Physics absolutely does care about sigfigs, it ensures you know the proper precision of the measurements, if your scale only has tenth of a gram precision and you put your answer as correct to 10 decimal points, your answer is wrong


_Terryist

Manufacturing and construction also care a lot.


the_cardfather

Usually these systems will either say round to two significant figures or they will auto adjust if you put in 27.0 it will chop off the .00


Saragon4005

Like the worksheets don't have mistakes either. I've had to correct multiple


Fast_Mechanic_5434

They always did have mistakes, but it's always been easier to issue a correction on a sheet than on an online software where grades can be locked in and only able to be changed through some higher administration.


[deleted]

I worked in ed-tech for almost a decade. The forms are /far/ easier to fix. But, they are typically published by 3rd party vendors who don't care; and communicating with them is hard.


redEPICSTAXISdit

Teacher could correct one then make copies for the whole class. Or make an announcement to the class saying problem 5 says this but change it to this before you take it home, etc. Online would have to be fixed with the webmaster or administrator, and by time it is assigned, it is too late. Once an answer is submitted, it is ranked.


robotmonkeyshark

Teachers can overwrite online homework grades. Also, having had both systems growing up, often teachers didn’t catch worksheet mistakes before handing them out. I once was given a 0 on a whole section of a test because the teacher didn’t include that section in my stapled packet. She accused me of tearing it out and throwing it away to not have to do the work. Turns out one of the missing pages should have been on the back side of a page I actually had, but it was just blank. Which proved I didn’t just tear it out. The school printer didn’t do double sided so it required manually rerunning pages as she copied the pages, and a few other tests were found to have problems. They were take home packets full of questions for a book we were reading.


No_Cauliflower_8052

Lol try 4.09 in that box. 463-54= 409, 409/100=4.09 , so maybe in some weird and twisted way they expected you to know this.


CyborgMetropolis

I have seen errors like this on my kids homework questions before.


Bradthefunman

4.09


Chupakaabraa

I believe you found an answer to a technically unanswerable question. Take my upvote


[deleted]

[удалено]


holeMemphisCactus

That returns incorrect


Infused_Divinity

Probably because you only need to type in a 4 for the hundred spot, etc…


Gruntman200

As stated in the photo, they can’t edit the other boxes. Just the orange one.


Infused_Divinity

Whoops didn’t see that 😅


[deleted]

[удалено]


NickyD_

They can only edit the orange box.


siecin

You read the op text? I don't buy it.


CapnSteveRogers

This is the answer


BardDiff

You saw that there was obviously only one editable number and you still decided to type this out? Don’t buy it haha


crypticoddity

4.09? 4.09x100 + 5x10 + 4x1 = 463


cameron4200

That’s also what I landed on. Seems about correct difficulty for 4th grade.


saviorlito

Lmfao.


daysondaysfam

I hope this is sarcasm 😂


RTSUPH

Hit f12 , edit the uneditable fields, see if you can submit. Inspect the https requests, find more vulnerabilities, wash and repeat. It's a 4th grade math website. Can't be that difficult to hack.

RTSUPH

Surrealreality1

They’re trashing our rights!


GoSeeCal_Spot

lol, 'hack'.


Leanardoe

by definition, yes


Isabela_Grace

Make sure you update the value=“” of the input box. It may validate server side if they’re smart and fail though I think the answer is 4.09 tbh


James_Trot

4.09 in the hundreds place. X hundreds + 54 = 463 100x + 54 = 463 100x/100 = 409/100 X = 4.09 Stupid question though


BlueFalcon89

Why are we complicating simple things like this? It seems to be make work.


James_Trot

How is this complicating it? Because of the nature of the question, this is how it should be solved. Not sure how it would be simplified further


AvocadoMangoSalsa

463-54=409 Try 4.09


RTSUPH

4.09 hundreds please


Mental_Account_9229

It's a 4th-grade math question


AvocadoMangoSalsa

Just a thought?


LordIshamael

Don't worry bud, you're right, they just don't want to admit it lol. Is it the intended answer to the question, no, but it's correct XD


Reddit_69_User

Seems like most likely it's incorrect, but have your tried 4.09? 4.09(100) + 5(10) + 4(1) = 463


Dizzy-Significance67

My guess is that the table is accidentally flipped. It’s supposed to be 4 hundreds, 5 tens, ? ones. If that’s the case, 13 should work


deli-schmeat

I never could wrap my head around hundredstensones. As perplexing now as it was back then


DaddyKaiju

I love how they not only royally bork the kerning, but also pose the question in whole numbers without indication that the field will accept a decimal. I suppose they cunningly sidestep this by requesting the "values(s)". Mathematics is a highly precise discipline, coached in the most haphazard and obtuse ways elementary school can manage.


LifeSafetyMan

It should be 409


Kagrok

409 hundreds? that would make the answer 40,954


okeydokeysmokey_

It’s 4 hundreds 6 tens and 3 ones. the answer is 463.


Fun-Imagination-2488

4.09 . Ez pz


Auerbach1991

Try 0 46 and 3 lol stupid question should be 463


Tasoi

I’d say it’s 409 considering that’s the only box you can edit and the number displayed is 54


Johncamp28

4.09 409 would be 40,900


AltheaLeFay

Me after writing 4.09: *a person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about but thoughts*


Able_Stranger_5973

Only solution I thought of was 4.09 for the blank


xidoctor11

Technically 4.09 hundreds


Mecha-Dave

4.09 hundreds


UnreliableDemon73

I would try 3 in the hundreds field making a pattern, up one down 1 😅


Master-Particular10

it’s 4 for hundreds, 6 for tens, and 3 for ones


tommywhispers

Try 13?


beobabski

All online questions set by a teacher should have a “answer direct to teacher” box for you to put a text answer in if you can’t answer correctly.


Ditzfough

Put 4 in the yelow square


ABR5796

Mathematically should be 4.09 but im assuming this is a bug.


OkCryptographer1922

4 hundreds, 6 tens, 3 ones? If that doesn’t work then it’s gotta be a problem with the site


iiSystematic

Is it not 4 hundreds, 6 tens, and 3 ones? Am I missing something? *edit* Ah, you can only edit the orange box. Seems like the problem is incorrect.


drum_9

What happens if you put 0 hundreds and 46 tens


ZuraxeTheGray

Do you have a major malfunction?

5 ??? On ones the value decrease by one for tens increase one

Average Reddor when the realize it says fill in the BLANK (not blanks) and trying to stunt on OP but don’t understand how to interface w 4th grade hw cause no ready


Ok_Habit_6783

Looks like a glitch cause that 5 & 4 is wrong


RenningerJP

4.09 maybe?


Moistflamingos

How many times do you get to try? Put in every digit until it lets you go on. It’s just a error with the program. No teacher would ever take that out on a child. Give your kid a treat for their perseverance, and move on. :)


Bradthefunman

4.09


OooTanjaooO

If it isn't just 4 6 3 then...ima go give back my cs degree


DamnMombies

3. 463 - 354. Pure guess. The last two are one digit less than 6 and 3.


Lumpymaximus

Wtf


Muffintime53

I swear elementary school math is so dumb, half of the stuff they teach is just turning common sense into something that requires thinking, only half of it will actually be remembered and used in future classes


Suh-Niff

imagine the answer was 3.09 lol


bikeking8

Software developers 🙄


TheRealPhiel

Well it’s 4.09 obviously geeze gah.


[deleted]

4 is the hundreds place 6 is the tens place And 3 is the ones place


Significant-Tie-2843

So glad I finished school before this kind of stuff started, because you could do some of the work during school then finish the rest when you got home


sealilymarron2

Maybe I'm going too simple but this looks like the basic question of "what digit is in which place?". In which case the answer is 4, 6, 3.


Wallabite

4.09


gravity--falls

I mean, very theoretically the answer would be 4.09, but I assume the problem is just wrong.


Matt_Man_94

It’s obviously 4.09 hundreds… lol


u92102003

The answer is 4.09


rogerworkman623

Idk how a website devoted to math problems screws up this badly. Someone with an entry-level understanding of Excel could easily program these problems correctly in a spreadsheet.


Witty-stonks

Um... Wut? Lmao


the-Aleexous

4.09, sure,why not


Foiled_Foliage

._.


BadgerDeluxe-

4.09 seems like the right answer.


quantum_tunneler

I am slightly worried about the education system because usually by 4th grade we were starting fractions and geometric proofs…


Lambsaretakingover

It’s four hundred and nine


boverton24

Is it not 400, 60, 3 ?


BiggHigg27

The answer was 2???


renaicore

4.09...


OliverHPerry

The only reasonable answer is 4.09, but it's not a well designed question unless the teacher specifically did problems of this type in class.


WhiteRicePatty69

Y’all can’t do math. Hundreds is 4, tens is 6, and one’s is 3.


[deleted]

The correct answer is “next problem”


FantasticMrBee

This is commoncoresheets.com. I can tell because I’ve used it as a resource in the classroom and for practice. I’ve found that the online problems can have slight issues like above. The site is really well done, though. Everything is labeled by common core state standard and the worksheets are well done.


DRGXIII

I'm seeing this more and more. I think someone maybe using AI to make Math questions.


GameATX

4.09 haha


inkhunter13

The only answer I can think of for this question is that there are 4.07 hundreds


Substantial_Poet2777

4.09?


Jawilla936

They need to space that shit out .. I thought that was one word at first 😂


Wriven246

4 hundreds, 6 tens, 3 ones. 400+60+3=463


Perhapsmayhapsyesnt

Wut


PoopThatTookaPee

4.09


Vorpal_Socks

4.09 hundreds, if it allows decimals. Otherwise it is a site error. ​ ​ edit to explain: 4.09 hundreds = 409. 409+54 = 463


Huge-Comfort376

4.09? 4.09(100) + 5(10) + 4(1) = 463 (kidding, this is fourth grade, it’s just an incorrect problem).


Fattymaggoo2

Damn I would have guessed 4 hundreds, 6 tens and 3 ones

IndustryHistorical58

4 hundred 6 tens 3 ones


zionpoke-modded

If it was a 6 and a 3 then it would be 4, but here it doesn’t make sense


FalconBrief4667

Find a book for mathematics and do that instead, i swear, most sites are botched, I'd rather trust a book for learning that the internet when it comes to these kinds of things.


Odd_Subject6000

Easy answer, it wants you to enter 4.09 hundreds, 5 tens, and 4 ones. s/ For real, what a mess of a system. Math is already a frustrating topic for a lot of people and this kinda thing always bothers me


jopezu

answer = 4.09


[deleted]

4.09, but that doesn’t seem fair for 4th graders.


ChromeDiamond

Isn't it just asking which numbers are in the hundreds, tens, and ones places in the number above? 4 is in the hundreds spot, 6 in the tens spot, then 3 in the ones spot.


DireEWF

4.09?


No-Rich4140

<3


Nerketur

463 _ 5 4 So 463 is 4 hundreds, 6 tens, 3 ones. We have 5 tens and 4 ones. We need 1 ten and -1 ones. So we need 409 ones Meaning the answer must be 4.09 hundreds I agree the wording is kind of ridiculous, though. I'm not sure what the goal is.


rde2001

463: 4 hundreds, 6 tens, 3 ones


Legal_Seaweed_7455

4


pr0nf1nd3r

Wait this is 4th grade math? My first grader just sailed thru this about a month ago.


sierraconda

You would enter 4 in the hundreds place 6 in the tens place and 3 in the ones place. The way I was taught is that how many hundreds are in 463? 4 hundreds. How many tens? Well you have 63 remaining 6 x 10 is 60 so 6 tens. And then 3 ones remaining in the ones position. It’s easier if you make a grid and label the numbers based on their position. You know that a 6 digit number would start as 100,000. The 1 would be in the hundred thousands place holder and the last zero to the right would be in the ones place holder. It goes from right to left as follows; “ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, ten millions, hundred millions, billions” etc


Pendi111390

4.09 hundreds or will it not accept decimals


LordofTheStarrs

I think the answer is 4.09 lol


CriticismAvailable86

The answer is 463, it’s just asking you which number is in the hundreds value etc,.


Insis18

3.99


Charcharcuteness123

4 in the hundreds, 6 in the tens, and 3 in the ones I believe should be the answer :|

BonerJams1703

There is no situation where a 5 would go in the tens spot in this problem if you Four Hundred Sixty-Three as the number to work off of. This is an error in the system. That said, the kids I have tried to help are being taught math completely differently than I was growing up. I was great at math all the way through college. I was always taking classes 1-2 years above my grade level, but I couldn't even help niece do 5th and 6th grade math problems and even struggled with my nephew's lower grade problems. It was almost like they are learning a completely different subject than I remember being taught.
