Worked example. Write the name of 53.
53 has 5 tens (fifty) and 3 ones (three), so the name is fifty-three.
Worked example. How many tens and ones are in 69?
69 has 6 tens (60) and 9 ones (9). Together that is 60 + 9 = 69.
Worked example. Put 38, 19, 83 from smallest to biggest.
Tens: 19 has 1 ten, 38 has 3 tens, 83 has 8 tens. So the order is 19, 38, 83.
