BLOG ANSWERS from last post:

MATH:

• when writing a large number to help us organise it so it is easier see/ read we add a space between periods. There are three places to a period (H,T,O) unless of course the number isn't that large.
• ex: 54 827 ..... we put a space between the 4 and the 8 to seperate the thousand period from the units period.
