To evaluate Sid's work, let's analyze the statements:
-
Sid forgot to subtract the hundreds place, so his answer is incorrect.
- This statement is likely true if Sid's subtraction does not properly account for the hundreds place.
-
Sid’s answer of 32 is correct.
- This statement can only be true if Sid's calculation was done correctly. To check if 346 - 214 equals 32, we perform the actual subtraction:
- 346 - 214 = 132.
- Thus, this statement is false.
- This statement can only be true if Sid's calculation was done correctly. To check if 346 - 214 equals 32, we perform the actual subtraction:
-
Sid should have written 214 on top and 346 on bottom.
- This statement is false if he was meant to subtract 214 from 346. The generally accepted practice is to write the larger number on top.
-
Sid lined up the place values correctly.
- This statement is true if Sid aligned the digits for hundreds, tens, and ones correctly in his subtraction.
Based on this analysis, the two true statements about Sid's work are likely:
- Sid forgot to subtract the hundreds place, so his answer is incorrect.
- Sid lined up the place values correctly.
Make sure to verify Sid's actual work to confirm these conclusions!
