Which statements are true about
Sid's work? Check the TWO that apply.

sue should have added 346 and 214
O sid lined up the place value correctly
O Sid is answer of32 is correctly

Answer 1

To analyze Sid's subtraction work, let's look at the equation:

346 - 214 = 32

Now let's perform the subtraction correctly:

Starting with the hundreds place:

• 3 (hundreds in 346) - 2 (hundreds in 214) = 1 (hundreds)

Next, the tens place:

• 4 (tens in 346) - 1 (tens in 214) = 3 (tens)

Finally, the units place:

• 6 (units in 346) - 4 (units in 214) = 2 (units)

Putting it all together, the correct answer should be: 346 - 214 = 132

Now let's evaluate the statements:

1. Sid forgot to subtract the hundreds place, so his answer is incorrect.

   • This statement is true. Sid incorrectly performed subtraction in the hundreds place, leading to an incorrect answer.

2. Sid should have added 346 and 214.

   • This statement is false. The problem explicitly asked for subtraction, not addition.

3. Sid lined up the place value correctly.

   • This statement is true. Despite the calculation error, Sid did line up the digits according to their place values.

4. Sid's answer of 32 is correct.

   • This statement is false. The answer given by Sid (32) is incorrect.

Therefore, the two true statements about Sid's work are:

• Sid forgot to subtract the hundreds place, so his answer is incorrect.
• Sid lined up the place value correctly.
