1. In A.S. Pushkin's fairy tale "The Priest and His Workman Balda," it is said: "Balda sat on the mare and rode a verst so that the dust rose in a column." Determine how many tens of meters are contained in the length of the path that Balda rode on the mare. $(1$ verst $=500$ sazhen, 1 sazhen $=3$ arshins, 1 arshin $=$ $71 \mathrm{~cm})$.
1. 2) $3 \times 500=1500$ arshins - in one verst;
2) $71 \times 1500=106500$ cm - in one verst;
3) $106500: 100=1065$ m - in one verst;
4) $1065: 10=106$ tens (remainder 5) — the number of tens of meters.

Answer: in one verst there are 106 tens of meters.
