Let's break it down step by step.
-
First Addition:
- \( 43 + 138 \)
- Start with the ones: \( 3 + 8 = 11 \) (11 ones)
- This can be traded for 1 ten and 1 one.
-
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.
- In the tens place, we have:
-
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.
-
Final Count:
- So we have:
- 1 hundred,
- 8 tens,
- and 1 one.
- So we have:
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.
