Ashley uses a mix of six base-ten blocks to model a 3 digit number. All 3 digits of the number are the same. What is the number?

The number is 222

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The method Ashley models the 3 digit number = A mix of six base-ten blocks

The digits of the 3 digit number are equal

Therefore, given that in a 3 digit number, we have, hundreds, 100s, tens, 10s, and units, 1s, we can find the digits as follows;

Let 'x' represent the number of hundreds digits, let 'y' represent the number of tens digits and let 'z' represent the number of units digits, we have;

x = y = z...(1)

x + y + z = 6...(2)

Substituting the value of x = y, and x = z from equation (1), in equation (2), we get;

x + y + z = x + x + x = 6

∴ 3·x = 6

∴ x = 6/3 = 2

x = 2 = y = z

Therefore, the 3-digit numbers xyz = 222
