Answer 1

To determine which statements about Eli's work are true, we need to analyze the context:

1. "Eli should've added 245 and 121 instead." - This statement could be true if Eli was supposed to add those numbers; however, without more context, it's difficult to assess if this is correct or not.

2. "Eli lined up the place values correctly." - Without seeing Eli's work, it's hard to confirm if this is true.

3. "Eli's answer of 24 is correct." - This can be evaluated based on a subtraction problem involving 245 and 121. If this is referring to subtraction (245 - 121), the correct answer is 124, not 24.

4. "Eli's answer is incorrect. The correct difference is 124." - If Eli was indeed subtracting 245 and 121, then yes, this statement is true as 245 - 121 equals 124.

Based on the analysis:

• True statements are:
  • "Eli's answer is incorrect. The correct difference is 124."
  • (If Eli was supposed to subtract, then the statement about not needing to add is also true.)

Without more specific context about Eli's calculations, the most confidently confirmed true statements would be:

1. Eli's answer is incorrect. The correct difference is 124.
2. (If no need for addition was stated, disregard point 1.)

Thus, you can safely choose:

• Eli's answer is incorrect. The correct difference is 124.
• Eli lined up the place values correctly (if applicable).
