Add: 43 + 138

34 + 138 = 181

3 ones plus 8 ones is equal to _ ones.
11 ones in the same as 1 _ and 1 one. Trade in for a tens piece.
We have 1 ten plus 4 tens plus 3 tens. That's _ tens.
We end up with 1 hundred, 8 tens, and the 1 one, or _.

3 answers

Let's break it down step by step.

  1. First Addition:

    • \( 43 + 138 \)
    • Start with the ones: \( 3 + 8 = 11 \) (11 ones)
    • This can be traded for 1 ten and 1 one.
  2. Tens Calculation:

    • In the tens place, we have:
      • 4 tens from 43,
      • 3 tens from 138,
      • plus the 1 ten we traded from the ones. So: \( 4 + 3 + 1 = 8 \) tens.
  3. Hundreds Place:

    • Since there are no hundreds from either 43 or 138, we only have the 1 hundred we would get from 1 ten traded from the 11 ones.
  4. Final Count:

    • So we have:
      • 1 hundred,
      • 8 tens,
      • and 1 one.

Putting this all together, we can express the total as:

  • Final Answer:
    • 1 hundred, 8 tens, and 1 one equals 181.

Filling in the blanks:

  • We have 3 ones plus 8 ones is equal to 11 ones.
  • We end up with 1 ten plus 4 tens plus 3 tens. That's 8 tens.
  • The final result is 181.
summerize this

To add 43 and 138, we start with the ones place:

  1. Ones Calculation:

    • \(3 + 8 = 11\) ones, which equals 1 ten and 1 one.
  2. Tens Calculation:

    • Adding the tens: \(4 + 3 + 1 = 8\) tens.
  3. Hundreds Calculation:

    • There's 1 hundred from the 11 ones traded.

Final Result:

  • We have 1 hundred, 8 tens, and 1 one, totaling 181.
