Understanding Thousands and Hundreds

The video tutorial explains how to balance the equation 4,500 equals 3 thousands plus an unknown number of hundreds. It breaks down the left side into 4 thousands and 500, and the right side into 3 thousands. By adding 1,000 and 500 to the right side, the equation is balanced. Finally, 1,500 is expressed as 15 hundreds, solving the problem.
