Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to break it down step by step.

First, find the correct answer to the division problem. You mentioned that the first error appears in 23−18. Let's start by evaluating that.

1. **Calculate 23 - 18**:
23 - 18 = 5

Next, we need to work on the division problem 293 ÷ 9. We can do this by performing the division step-by-step.

2. **Calculate 293 ÷ 9**:
- 9 goes into 29 three times (because 9 × 3 = 27).
- Subtract 27 from 29:
29 - 27 = 2
- Bring down the next digit (which is 3), making it 23.
- 9 goes into 23 two times (because 9 × 2 = 18).
- Subtract 18 from 23:
23 - 18 = 5

Now, combine the results:

So 293 ÷ 9 = 32 with a remainder of 5, which can be expressed as:
293 ÷ 9 = 32 R5 or 32.55 when expressed as a decimal (if dividing the remainder by 9).

Finally, if your goal was to simplify or get the answer explicitly, remember that the important part is the correct division and ensuring calculations were followed correctly.

The corrected answer should reflect the process above. If you are prompted to check, you should utilize that feature to see if this aligns with expected answers.
