Shawn wants to model the number 13,450 using base-ten blocks. how many large cubes, flats, and longs does he need to model the number

1 rod or long is a column of 10 unit cubes.

10 longs placed side by side, form a flat (with dimensions 10×10)

10 flats, placed on top of each other form a large cube, with dimensions 10×10×10 = 1000 cubes.


each small cube (unit cube) represents the number 1.

thus each long represents 10
each flat represents 100

and each large cube represents 1,000

The number 13,450 can be written as

1*10,000+3*1000+4*100+5*10 using the expanded form.

This means that there are 13 large cubes, 4 flats and 5 longs needed to model the number.

13 large cubes, 4 flats, 5 longs

Iam guessing c. or d.
