You make me ten times better! I'm nothing without you!
Place value is the key to this joke. Alone the 1 represents a single unit. Pairing 1 and 0 together indicates 1 group of ten units and 0 groups of single units, 10 times more than the single unit! Taking away the 1 out 10 leaves 0 units, nothing without the 1!

Hello Amy - Yes, you are welcome to use the cartoon for your paper. Please keep the website on the bottom. The illustration is my own, but I do not know the original source of the joke. I'd love to hear more about the topic of your paper! Cheers, Christina
