To evaluate Sid's work for the subtraction of 214 from 346, we need to determine which statements about his work are true. Let's analyze the statements provided:
-
Sid lined up the place values correctly. - This statement can be true if Sid arranged the numbers properly in the subtraction process.
-
Sid forgot to subtract the hundreds place, so his answer is incorrect. - If Sid's answer is incorrect because he omitted subtracting from the hundreds place, this statement would be true.
-
Sid’s answer of 32 is correct. - For this statement to be true, the subtraction must yield 32, which can be checked: 346 - 214 = 132, not 32. Hence, this statement is false.
-
Sid should have added 346 and 214. - This statement is false; the task was to subtract, not add.
Conclusion:
- True Statements:
- Sid lined up the place values correctly. (if confirmed in his subtraction)
- Sid forgot to subtract the hundreds place, so his answer is incorrect. (if confirmed that he made a mistake)
Based on the analysis, you should select the first two statements as they are the most likely to be true regarding Sid's work.
