Ten more minutes or more ten minutes?
Dear English speakers, please help me with the 2 questions:
1
------- Have you finished your homework yet?
------- Not yet, I need ________ minutes.
A. more ten B. ten more
2
--------- Please buy me __________ ten more notebooks, 3 are not enough.
A. ten more B. more ten
3. Is it that both 'ten more minutes' and 'more ten minutes' are used in your daily language? If so, when do you prefer one instead of the other?
Thanks a lot.

1) A
2) A
You never use "More ten"
you always use 10 more
You might be mixed up with "more THAN"

However, your last sentence can also be said like this, Please buy me 10 notebooks, 3 are not enough

2)A
3)"Ten more minutes", is a reference about time. Ex: I will need ten more minutes to get dressed.
"Ten more" is speaking about quantity. For example, "Please buy me "ten more" notebooks, 3 are not enough
