A hundred can be decomposed into ten equal groups of ten: 1 hundred = 10 tens = 100 ones. This connects the hundreds, tens, and ones places in the base-ten system and supports regrouping when adding or subtracting; it does not require decomposing into unequal groups or extending the idea to larger units or more general place-value abstractions.
A hundred can be broken into 10 equal groups of 10.
So:
Example: Decompose 1 hundred into tens.
Therefore, 1 hundred is the same as 10 tens.
