Answer 1

To evaluate Bella's work on adding 836 and 94, we need to consider the proper way to align the numbers for addition based on place value.

1. The sum of 836 and 94 should be 940. - This statement is true. The correct addition is 836 + 94 = 930.

2. Bella set up the problem incorrectly. The 9 in 94 should be under the 3 in 836. - This statement is true. When adding numbers, the digits must be aligned based on their place values (hundreds, tens, and units). In this case, the correct alignment should place the 9 directly under the 3 in the tens place.

3. It is true that 836 + 94 = 1776. - This statement is false. The correct sum of 836 and 94 is 930, not 1776.

4. Bella set up the problem correctly. The largest digits in each number, regardless of place value, should line up. - This statement is false. The setup is incorrect because the digits should be aligned by their place value, not by size.

So, the two statements that are true about Bella's work are:

• The sum of 836 and 94 should be 930.
• Bella set up the problem incorrectly. The 9 in 94 should be under the 3 in 836.
