Fill in all the blanks

1 answer

Let's break it down step by step to fill in the blanks.

  1. 43 + 138: First, let's calculate the total.

    • \( 3 + 8 = 11 \): This means that 3 ones plus 8 ones equals 11 ones.
    • Trade in: 11 ones is the same as 1 ten and 1 one, so we would trade in for a tens piece.
  2. Now, we count the tens:

    • You have 1 ten from the trading, plus 4 tens from 43 (which is 40) plus 3 tens from 138 (which is 30).
    • Thus, \( 1 + 4 + 3 = 8 \): So, we have 8 tens.
  3. Finally, we look at the hundreds, tens, and ones:

    • From the addition, we end up with 1 hundred, 8 tens, and 1 one, which means the final answer is 181.

So the filled in blanks are:

  • 11 ones
  • 10
  • 8 tens
  • 181
