Desperate mum begs for help with her seven-year-old’s maths homework - it's so hard to understand

The tricky question is as follows: “Karla says: “I have three hundreds counters, 17 tens counters and 16 ones counters.“a) Can she make two equal three-digit numbers? If so, draw the counters to show them.

“ b) Can she make two equal three-digit numbers if she had to use all her counters? If so, draw the counters to show them.”Commenting on the problem, one person said: “I have a PhD in maths, and I have no idea what this question is asking.“Unless there’s a diagram to go with it, or more explanation somewhere else.”A third wrote: “Clearly not for a 40 year old woman, I’m lost.”While another added: “I’m 45 and i can’t work it out lol.

Teresa confirmed to Fabulous Digital they got it right in the end, sharing a snap of the answer, which she wrote as 172 for a, and 243 for b.“I certainly didn't expect it to be so difficult.”

I expect the maths is simple enough if you could just understand the damn questions!

Wouldn't B also satisfy A?
