Two number lines show different ways to add \(6\) to \(497\). a) Complete both jump sequences. b) Do both methods give the same sum? Explain why.
Figure for problem 515743

Hints

- Follow each jump sequence from its starting value. - Compare the total size of the jumps in the two panels. - Think about whether splitting an addend changes its value.

Solution

1. In a), \(497+3=500\), then \(500+3=503\). 2. In b), \(497+6=503\). 3. Both methods give \(503\) because \(3+3=6\); splitting an addend into parts does not change the total amount added.

Answer

a) First sequence: \(497, 500, 503\). Second sequence: \(497, 503\). b) Yes. \(3+3=6\), so both methods add the same total amount and end at \(503\).

For each part, solve the related two-digit fact first. Then use it to write the three-digit sum and state what happens to the hundreds place. a) Related fact: \(48+7=\square\); then \(248+7=\square\) b) Related fact: \(15+6=\square\); then \(615+6=\square\) c) Related fact: \(79+4=\square\); then \(479+4=\square\)

Hints

- Work with the tens and ones first. - After solving the related fact, identify which hundreds are unchanged. - Your answer should explicitly connect the two-digit fact to the three-digit sum.

Solution

1. a) \(48+7=55\). The tens-and-ones part becomes \(55\), while the \(2\) hundreds remain, so \(248+7=255\). 2. b) \(15+6=21\). The tens-and-ones part becomes \(21\), while the \(6\) hundreds remain, so \(615+6=621\). 3. c) \(79+4=83\). The tens-and-ones part becomes \(83\), while the \(4\) hundreds remain, so \(479+4=483\).

Answer

a) \(48+7=55\); keep the \(2\) hundreds, so \(248+7=255\). b) \(15+6=21\); keep the \(6\) hundreds, so \(615+6=621\). c) \(79+4=83\); keep the \(4\) hundreds, so \(479+4=483\).

Before calculating, notice which place value changes from one expression to the next. Then find each sum. \(300 + 400\) \(350 + 400\) \(350 + 420\) \(358 + 420\) \(358 + 421\)

Hints

- Compare each expression with the one above it. - Focus on the place value that changed. - Use the previous sum to update the next one.

Solution

1. \(300 + 400 = 700\). 2. The first addend increases by \(50\), so \(350 + 400 = 750\). 3. The second addend increases by \(20\), so \(350 + 420 = 770\). 4. The first addend increases by \(8\), so \(358 + 420 = 778\). 5. The second addend increases by \(1\), so \(358 + 421 = 779\).

Answer

\(300 + 400 = 700\) \(350 + 400 = 750\) \(350 + 420 = 770\) \(358 + 420 = 778\) \(358 + 421 = 779\)

Sometimes changing an addend makes an equation easier to solve mentally. Use a compensation strategy or another mental-math strategy, and show your work. a) \(256 + 399\) b) \(437 + 198\) c) \(524 + 202\)

Hints

- Look for an addend that is close to a multiple of \(100\). - If you add too much at first, think about how to undo the extra amount. - For an addend just above a hundred, consider splitting off the hundreds first.

Solution

1. For a), replace \(399\) with \(400\): \(256+400=656\). Since \(400\) is \(1\) too much, subtract \(1\): \(656-1=655\). 2. For b), replace \(198\) with \(200\): \(437+200=637\). Since \(200\) is \(2\) too much, subtract \(2\): \(637-2=635\). 3. For c), break \(202\) into \(200+2\): \(524+200=724\), then \(724+2=726\).

Answer

a) One mental strategy: \(256+400=656\), then \(656-1=655\). b) One mental strategy: \(437+200=637\), then \(637-2=635\). c) One mental strategy: \(524+200=724\), then \(724+2=726\).

The place-value chart shows two addends, one in each row. a) What two numbers are represented? b) Which place must be regrouped first when the addends are combined? c) Explain the regrouping that follows. d) Find the sum.
Figure for problem 515720

Hints

- Read each row by hundreds, tens, and ones before doing any addition. - Combine chips in matching place-value columns. - After regrouping one column, remember that the next column changes.

Solution

1. The first row shows \(4\) hundreds, \(5\) tens, and \(6\) ones, so it represents \(456\). The second row represents \(265\). 2. The ones have \(6+5=11\) ones, so the ones place must be regrouped first. 3. Regroup \(10\) ones as \(1\) ten, leaving \(1\) one. The tens then total \(5+6+1=12\) tens, so regroup \(10\) tens as \(1\) hundred. 4. The hundreds total \(4+2+1=7\), so \(456+265=721\).

Answer

a) \(456\) and \(265\) b) The ones place. c) Regroup \(10\) ones as \(1\) ten, then regroup \(10\) tens as \(1\) hundred. d) \(721\)

Use the number-line jumps to find \(647+198\). Explain why the two jumps represent adding \(198\).
Figure for problem 515721

Hints

- Compare \(198\) with a nearby hundred. - The first jump is intentionally a little too large. - The second jump corrects the extra amount.

Solution

1. Add \(200\): \(647+200=847\). 2. Since \(198\) is \(2\) less than \(200\), subtract \(2\): \(847-2=845\). 3. The jumps add \(200\) and then subtract \(2\), for a net change of \(+198\).

Answer

\(647+198=845\). The jumps have a net change of \(+198\).

Use the number-line jumps. a) Fill in every missing landing value. b) Write the addition equation represented by the complete sequence of jumps.
Figure for problem 515794

Hints

- Read the starting value and the signed jump sizes from the image. - Each landing becomes the starting value for the next jump. - Combine the jump sizes to determine the addend represented by the whole path.

Solution

1. The line starts at \(345\). The first jump is \(+200\), so the first landing is \(545\). 2. The next jump is \(+80\), giving \(625\). 3. The last jump is \(+7\), giving \(632\). 4. The jumps add \(200+80+7=287\), so the represented equation is \(345+287=632\).

Answer

a) \(545\), \(625\), \(632\) b) \(345+287=632\)

A student adds \(468+354\) in place-value steps: \(468+300=768\) \(768+\square=818\) \(818+4=822\) a) What number belongs in the box? b) Explain how the three added parts are related to \(354\).

Hints

- Compare the two numbers on either side of the box. - Think about which place-value part of \(354\) has not yet been used. - Check that all three added parts recombine to the original addend.

Solution

1. The missing step changes \(768\) to \(818\), so the missing addend is \(50\). 2. The added parts are \(300\), \(50\), and \(4\). 3. Since \(300+50+4=354\), the steps add exactly the second addend.

Answer

a) \(50\) b) \(300+50+4=354\).
5157963
Two students find \(482+159\). Mia: \(482+100=582\), \(582+50=632\), \(632+9=641\) Noah: \(482+160=642\), then \(642-1=641\) a) Are both methods correct? b) Explain why Noah's method works. c) Which method uses fewer arithmetic steps for this sum?

Hints

- Check the total change made by each method. - Compare \(159\) with the nearby number Noah used. - For part c), count the arithmetic steps in each shown method.

Solution

1. Mia's place-value steps give \(641\). 2. Noah adds \(160\), which is \(1\) more than \(159\), and then subtracts \(1\), so his net change is \(+159\). His result is also \(641\). 3. Both methods are correct. Noah's method uses two arithmetic steps, while Mia's uses three, so Noah's method uses fewer steps for this sum.

Answer

a) Yes. Both methods give \(641\). b) Noah adds \(1\) too much and then subtracts \(1\). c) Noah's method uses fewer arithmetic steps.

Which strategy is especially efficient for \(386+398\): adding by hundreds, tens, and ones, or using a nearby hundred? Explain briefly and find the sum.

Hints

- Look for an addend that is very close to a multiple of \(100\). - Decide whether the easier calculation adds a little too much or too little. - Correct only the amount by which the addend was changed.

Solution

1. \(398\) is only \(2\) less than \(400\), so using a nearby hundred is especially efficient. 2. Compute \(386+400=786\). 3. Subtract the extra \(2\): \(786-2=784\).

Answer

Using a nearby hundred is especially efficient. \(386+398=784\).

Ava tries to add \(574+348\) in steps: \(574+300=874\) \(874+40=878\) \(878+8=886\) Find Ava's first mistake. Explain it and give the correct sum.

Hints

- Check each step against the place value of the amount being added. - Ask whether the second step changes the tens place by the correct amount. - Once the first incorrect step is fixed, continue from that corrected value.

Solution

1. Ava's first step is correct: \(574+300=874\). 2. In the second step, \(40\) means \(4\) tens, not \(4\) ones. The correct step is \(874+40=914\). 3. Then \(914+8=922\). 4. The correct sum is \(922\).

Answer

Ava first treats \(40\) as if it were \(4\). The correct sum is \(922\).

Use compensation to find each sum mentally. Show your work. a) \(236+199\) b) \(458+298\) c) \(375+399\)

Hints

- Replace the second addend with a nearby multiple of \(100\). - Decide how much extra was added by that replacement. - Undo exactly that extra amount after finding the easier sum.

Solution

1. Replace \(199\) with \(200\): \(236+200=436\). Since \(200\) is \(1\) too much, subtract \(1\): \(436-1=435\). 2. Replace \(298\) with \(300\): \(458+300=758\). Since \(300\) is \(2\) too much, subtract \(2\): \(758-2=756\). 3. Replace \(399\) with \(400\): \(375+400=775\). Since \(400\) is \(1\) too much, subtract \(1\): \(775-1=774\).

Answer

a) \(236+200=436\), then \(436-1=435\) b) \(458+300=758\), then \(758-2=756\) c) \(375+400=775\), then \(775-1=774\)
5159093
A student claims \(538+246=774\). Check the claim using subtraction instead of adding the two numbers again from the beginning. If the claim is wrong, find the correct sum.

Hints

- A correct sum can be checked by undoing one addend. - Compare the result of the check with the other addend. - If the check fails, adjust the claimed sum and verify again.

Solution

1. If \(774\) were the correct sum, then \(774-538\) would equal \(246\). 2. \(774-538=236\), so the claim fails the inverse-operation check. 3. The correct sum is \(538+246=784\). 4. Check: \(784-538=246\).

Answer

The claim is wrong. The correct sum is \(784\), and \(784-538=246\).

Use an efficient mental-math strategy to find each sum. Show how you changed the numbers. a) \(295+165\) b) \(398+244\) c) \(499+301\)

Hints

- Look for an addend that is close to a multiple of \(100\). - If you move part of one addend to the other, keep the total amount unchanged. - If you replace an addend with a larger nearby number, account for the extra amount afterward.

Solution

1. For a), move \(5\) from \(165\) to \(295\): \(300+160=460\). 2. For b), use \(400+244=644\). Since \(400\) is \(2\) more than \(398\), subtract \(2\): \(644-2=642\). 3. For c), move \(1\) from \(301\) to \(499\): \(500+300=800\).

Answer

a) Move \(5\): \(295+165=300+160=460\). b) Use \(400\): \(400+244=644\), then \(644-2=642\). c) Move \(1\): \(499+301=500+300=800\).

Compare these two sums: A: \(457+286\) B: \(457+299\) Which one is especially efficient to solve with a nearby hundred? Explain briefly, and find both sums.

Hints

- Compare each second addend with a nearby multiple of \(100\). - A very small adjustment can make a mental strategy efficient. - Use a place-value strategy when no nearby hundred gives a simple adjustment.

Solution

1. In B, \(299\) is only \(1\) less than \(300\), so compensation is especially efficient: \(457+300-1=756\). 2. For A, add by place value: \(457+200=657\), \(657+80=737\), and \(737+6=743\).

Answer

B is especially efficient with a nearby hundred. A: \(743\) B: \(756\)

A \(3 \times 3\) number grid has three rows. The sum of the numbers in each row is \(15\). a) What is the sum of all nine numbers? b) What is the sum of the three column sums? Explain why regrouping the numbers by columns does not change the total.

Hints

- Multiply the number of rows by the sum of each row. - Think about whether regrouping the same addends can change their total. - Each number appears once when you add by rows and once when you add by columns.

Solution

1. There are three row sums of \(15\), so the total is \(3 \times 15 = 45\). 2. Regrouping the same nine addends by columns does not change their sum. Therefore, the three column sums also have a total of \(45\).

Answer

a) \(45\) b) \(45\). The same nine numbers are being added, only grouped differently.

Find the sum of \(456\), \(23\), \(102\), and \(304\). Tim adds the numbers one at a time in the order shown. Lisa first adds the two largest numbers and the two smallest numbers, then adds those two partial sums. Do they get the same result? Briefly explain why.

Hints

- Calculate the total using each grouping. - Think about whether addition changes when addends are reordered. - Think about whether addition changes when addends are regrouped.

Solution

1. Adding in the given order gives \(456 + 23 + 102 + 304 = 885\). 2. Lisa groups the two largest numbers and the two smallest numbers: \(456 + 304 = 760\) and \(23 + 102 = 125\). Then \(760 + 125 = 885\). 3. Both methods give the same result because the commutative and associative properties allow addends to be reordered and regrouped without changing the sum.

Answer

The sum is \(885\). Both methods give the same result because changing the order and grouping of addends does not change their sum.

Lucas wants to find \(295+48\) mentally. He first calculates \(300+48=348\). a) Explain what Lucas must do next to get the correct sum. What is the sum? b) Use Lucas's compensation strategy to find each sum. \(57+99\) \(146+19\)

Hints

- Compare the number Lucas used with the original addend. - If the easier number is larger, determine how much extra was included. - For the two new sums, replace the second addend with the next multiple of \(10\), then undo the extra amount.

Solution

1. Lucas used \(300\) instead of \(295\), so he added \(5\) too much. Subtract \(5\) from \(348\): \(348-5=343\). 2. For \(57+99\), use \(57+100=157\), then subtract \(1\): \(157-1=156\). 3. For \(146+19\), use \(146+20=166\), then subtract \(1\): \(166-1=165\).

Answer

a) Lucas must subtract \(5\): \(348-5=343\). b) \(57+100=157\), then \(157-1=156\). \(146+20=166\), then \(166-1=165\).

Compare these two methods for \(34+57+66\). Method A: \(34+57=91\), then \(91+66=157\) Method B: \(34+66=100\), then \(100+57=157\) Which method first makes a multiple of \(100\)? Explain why that makes the remaining addition simpler. Then find each sum by first making a multiple of \(100\) when possible. a) \(123+49+77\) b) \(250+368+150\)

Hints

- Look for a pair of addends whose sum is a multiple of \(100\). - Compare the remaining addition after that friendly partial sum is made. - In each new expression, identify the friendly pair before adding the third number.

Solution

1. Method B first makes a multiple of \(100\) because \(34+66=100\). The remaining calculation is then \(100+57\). 2. For a), first add \(123+77=200\). Then \(200+49=249\). 3. For b), first add \(250+150=400\). Then \(400+368=768\).

Answer

Method B first makes a multiple of \(100\), leaving \(100+57\). a) \(123+77=200\), then \(200+49=249\) b) \(250+150=400\), then \(400+368=768\)

A school store had some pencils. After \(370\) pencils were sold, \(230\) pencils remained. a) How many pencils were there at the start? b) Write a subtraction equation and a related addition equation that check the answer.

Hints

- Identify the starting amount as the whole. - The amount sold and the amount left are two parts of that whole. - Use the related addition equation to check the subtraction.

Solution

1. The starting amount is the number sold plus the number remaining: \(370+230=600\). 2. The subtraction equation is \(600-370=230\). 3. The related addition check is \(230+370=600\).

Answer

a) \(600\) pencils b) \(600-370=230\) and \(230+370=600\)

Compare the sums. Write \(<\), \(>\), or \(=\) in each box. a) \(430 + 280 \quad \square \quad 520 + 190\) b) \(360 + 470 \quad \square \quad 250 + 590\) c) \(180 + 740 \quad \square \quad 630 + 290\)

Hints

- Evaluate the left sum first. - Evaluate the right sum next. - Compare the two results. - Before calculating exactly, look for compensating changes in the addends.

Solution

1. For a), \(430 + 280 = 710\) and \(520 + 190 = 710\), so the sums are equal. 2. For b), \(360 + 470 = 830\) and \(250 + 590 = 840\), so \(830 < 840\). 3. For c), \(180 + 740 = 920\) and \(630 + 290 = 920\), so the sums are equal.

Answer

a) \(=\) b) \(<\) c) \(=\)

a) A sum is \(820\). One addend is \(550\). What is the other addend? b) First find \(190 + 430\). How does the sum change if each addend is increased by \(10\)?

Hints

- Subtract the known addend from the sum to find the missing addend. - Calculate the original sum before changing the addends. - Account for the increase in both addends.

Solution

1. Part a: Subtract the known addend from the sum: \(820 - 550 = 270\). 2. Part b: The original sum is \(190 + 430 = 620\). 3. Increasing both addends by \(10\) gives \(200 + 440 = 640\). 4. The sum increases by \(20\) because each of the two addends increases by \(10\).

Answer

a) The other addend is \(270\). b) The original sum is \(620\). The new sum is \(640\), so the sum increases by \(20\).

Pair the four addends in each part into two convenient sums. Write both pairs and their sums before finding the total. a) \(57+34+43+66\) b) \(215+88+85+12\) c) \(46+127+54+73\)

Hints

- Search for pairs that make \(100\), \(200\), or \(300\). - Use every addend exactly once in the two pairs. - Add the two pair sums only after you have written both pairs.

Solution

1. a) Pair \(57+43=100\) and \(34+66=100\). Then \(100+100=200\). 2. b) Pair \(215+85=300\) and \(88+12=100\). Then \(300+100=400\). 3. c) Pair \(46+54=100\) and \(127+73=200\). Then \(100+200=300\).

Answer

a) \(57+43=100\), \(34+66=100\); total \(200\) b) \(215+85=300\), \(88+12=100\); total \(400\) c) \(46+54=100\), \(127+73=200\); total \(300\)

Start with \(120 + 230 = 350\). Answer without recomputing the entire sum each time. a) Anton increases the first addend by \(40\). How does the sum change? b) Starting again with the original equation, Bea decreases the second addend by \(30\). How does the sum change? c) Starting again with the original equation, both addends increase by \(20\). How does the sum change, and what is the new sum?

Hints

- Consider how changing one addend changes the sum. - Apply each change to the known sum of \(350\). - For part c), combine the changes to both addends.

Solution

1. Increasing one addend by \(40\) increases the sum by \(40\), to \(350 + 40 = 390\). 2. Decreasing one addend by \(30\) decreases the sum by \(30\), to \(350 - 30 = 320\). 3. Increasing both addends by \(20\) increases the sum by \(20 + 20 = 40\), so the new sum is \(390\).

Answer

a) The sum increases by \(40\), to \(390\). b) The sum decreases by \(30\), to \(320\). c) The sum increases by \(40\), to \(390\).

Consider the addition equation \(340 + 180\). a) What mathematical term describes the numbers \(340\) and \(180\)? b) Calculate the result. What is the mathematical term for this result? c) Increase the first number by \(20\) and decrease the second number by \(20\). How does the new sum compare with the sum from part b)? Explain.

Hints

- Recall the names of the numbers and result in an addition equation. - Calculate both the original and changed equations. - Compare the equal-sized changes to the two addends.

Solution

1. Part a: The numbers being added are called addends. 2. Part b: \(340 + 180 = 520\). The result of addition is called the sum. 3. Part c: The new addends are \(340 + 20 = 360\) and \(180 - 20 = 160\). 4. The new sum is \(360 + 160 = 520\). 5. The sum stays the same because increasing one addend by \(20\) and decreasing the other by \(20\) are equal and opposite changes.

Answer

a) The numbers are addends. b) The result is \(520\), and it is called the sum. c) The sum remains \(520\) because the increase of \(20\) in one addend is offset by the decrease of \(20\) in the other addend.

Without calculating every sum first, group the expressions into two pairs with equal sums. Explain the pattern, then verify by calculating. \(270+50\) \(260+60\) \(480+60\) \(500+40\)

Hints

- Compare how the two addends change from one expression to another. - Look for equal changes in opposite directions. - Verify the predicted pairs only after identifying the change pattern.

Solution

1. In \(270+50\) and \(260+60\), one addend decreases by \(10\) while the other increases by \(10\), so the sum stays the same. Both equal \(320\). 2. In \(480+60\) and \(500+40\), one addend increases by \(20\) while the other decreases by \(20\), so the sum stays the same. Both equal \(540\).

Answer

\(270+50\) and \(260+60\) are a pair: one addend decreases by \(10\) while the other increases by \(10\), so both sums are \(320\). \(480+60\) and \(500+40\) are a pair: one addend increases by \(20\) while the other decreases by \(20\), so both sums are \(540\).

Sam says \(731-458=283\). Check Sam's answer using addition instead of redoing the subtraction first. Is Sam correct? If not, find the correct difference and check it with addition.

Hints

- A correct difference should combine with the number subtracted to make the starting number. - Test the claimed result in the related addition equation. - If the check fails, correct the difference and verify again.

Solution

1. Check Sam's claim: \(458+283=741\), not \(731\), so \(283\) is not correct. 2. The correct difference is \(731-458=273\). 3. Check: \(458+273=731\).

Answer

Sam is not correct. The difference is \(273\), and \(458+273=731\).

Use the vertical addition shown to find the sum. Describe both regrouping steps.
Figure for problem 554090

Hints

- Work from the ones place toward the hundreds place. - After regrouping, record the new unit in the next place before adding that column. - Check every column again after including a regrouped unit.

Solution

1. Add the ones: \(8+5=13\). Write \(3\) ones and regroup \(1\) ten. 2. Add the tens, including the regrouped ten: \(7+6+1=14\) tens. Write \(4\) tens and regroup \(1\) hundred. 3. Add the hundreds, including the regrouped hundred: \(4+3+1=8\) hundreds. 4. The sum is \(843\).

Answer

\(843\). Regroup \(13\) ones as \(3\) ones and \(1\) ten, then regroup \(14\) tens as \(4\) tens and \(1\) hundred.

Use the digit cards \(0, 1, 2, 3, 4,\) and \(5\) to make two three-digit numbers. Use each card exactly once. a) What is the least possible sum? b) What is the greatest possible sum?

Hints

- A digit in the hundreds place affects the sum more than a digit in the tens or ones place. - A three-digit number cannot have \(0\) in the hundreds place. - For the least sum, place the least possible digits in the highest-value places; reverse that idea for the greatest sum.

Solution

1. To minimize the sum, place the least nonzero digits, \(1\) and \(2\), in the hundreds places. Place the next least digits, \(0\) and \(3\), in the tens places, and place \(4\) and \(5\) in the ones places. 2. One possible arrangement is \(104+235=339\). Any arrangement with the same pairs of place-value digits has the same least sum. 3. To maximize the sum, place \(5\) and \(4\) in the hundreds places, \(3\) and \(2\) in the tens places, and \(1\) and \(0\) in the ones places. 4. One possible arrangement is \(531+420=951\).

Answer

a) \(339\) b) \(951\)
5160113
Use the digit cards \(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,\) and \(8\). Choose six cards to make two three-digit numbers whose sum is exactly \(999\). Use each chosen card exactly once. Which two cards can be left over? Explain why no regrouping can occur.

Hints

- Start with the ones digit of the target sum. - Ask whether two available digits could make \(19\) in one column. - Once the carry question is settled, look for pairs of digits that make \(9\).

Solution

1. In the ones place, the two digits must produce a ones digit of \(9\). The greatest possible sum of two distinct cards is \(8+7=15\), so a sum of \(19\) is impossible. Therefore, the ones digits must sum to \(9\), and there is no regrouped ten. 2. The same reasoning applies in the tens place, so the tens digits also sum to \(9\) with no regrouping. The hundreds digits then sum to \(9\). 3. The available pairs that sum to \(9\) are \((1,8)\), \((2,7)\), \((3,6)\), and \((4,5)\). 4. Any three pairs can fill the three places, leaving the fourth pair unused. 5. For example, \(123+876=999\), leaving \(4\) and \(5\).

Answer

The possible leftover pairs are \(1\) and \(8\), \(2\) and \(7\), \(3\) and \(6\), or \(4\) and \(5\).
5160123
You have digit cards \(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,\) and \(7\). Make two three-digit numbers whose sum is exactly \(500\), using each selected card only once. Write one valid addition equation. Then explain what the two ones digits must total, what the two tens digits must total before the regrouped ten is included, and what the two hundreds digits must total before the regrouped hundred is included.

Hints

- Work backward from the zeros in \(500\). - If the ones digits make \(10\), remember the regrouped ten when choosing tens digits. - If the tens total \(10\), remember the regrouped hundred when choosing hundreds digits.

Solution

1. To end with \(0\) ones while using distinct nonzero ones in this example, choose ones digits totaling \(10\), such as \(6+4\). This regroups \(1\) ten. 2. The tens column must total \(10\) after including that regrouped ten, so the two tens digits total \(9\), such as \(2+7\). 3. The hundreds column must total \(5\) after including the regrouped hundred, so the two hundreds digits total \(4\), such as \(1+3\). 4. One valid construction is \(126+374=500\).

Answer

One valid answer is \(126+374=500\). Ones digits: \(6+4=10\), so regroup \(1\) ten. Tens digits before the regrouped ten: \(2+7=9\); with the regrouped ten, the tens total \(10\). Hundreds digits before the regrouped hundred: \(1+3=4\); with the regrouped hundred, the hundreds total \(5\).

Find the digits that must replace the stars so that the sum is \(127\).
Figure for problem 536225

Hints

- Start in the ones place and remember that you may need to regroup. - Then work one place at a time from right to left.

Solution

1. Ones place: \(* + 8 = 17\), so the missing ones digit is \(9\). Regroup \(1\) ten. 2. Tens place: \(* + 8 + 1 = 12\), so the missing tens digit is \(3\). Regroup \(1\) hundred. 3. The regrouped \(1\) becomes the hundreds digit of the sum. The completed equation is \(39 + 88 = 127\).

Answer

The missing digits are \(3\) and \(9\). The completed equation is \(39 + 88 = 127\).
