Answer 16

4 flats 1 long and 4 units ??? to make 114

Answer 17

....

Answer 18

ok, so u nits and 1 units makes 4 units
now 3 longs +4 longs will combine to 1 flat and and 2 longs....
right ?

Answer 19

**so, 3 units and...

Answer 20

how u got 1 long ?

Answer 21

I am confused what are u saying is the answer

Answer 22

If i have to flats and 3 longs and 4 units then I will have 69 in total

Answer 23

ok, let me try again
so 3 units and 1 units makes 4 units----> last 4
now 3 longs +4 longs will combine to 1 flat(50) and and 2 longs(10)--->1 (for that 10 long )
one flat from here, combines with one flat previously to give 100---->1 in hundred's place

Answer 24

oaky so are u saying that in the base 5 blaocks the flat is 50

Answer 25

So If i get this right the answer is....

Answer 26

2 flats two longs and 4 units

Answer 27

oh wait, its not fifty, its 25
5 longs (5*5) make 1 flat (25)

Answer 28

exactly

Answer 29

2 flats two longs and 4 units is absolutely correct

Answer 30

well no cuz that is 50 + 10 + 4
the answer is 114 not 64

Answer 31

the answer is 114 in base 5
and 64 in base 10

Answer 32

how ??

Answer 33

you are confusing between bases ?
decimal addition
41+23 = 64
base 5 :
41+23 = 114

Answer 34

I get the addition part but how does it work in blocks

Answer 35

i think of it as 25 and 25 and 5 and 5 and 4 ???

Answer 36

yes, those 25 and 25 become 50 ---> 1 (leftmost 1)
5 and 5 become 10 ---->1(middle 1)
4 (rightmost 4)

Answer 37

so 114

Answer 38

how??????????

Answer 39

3 units and 1 units makes 4 units----> last 4
now 3 longs +4 longs will combine to 1 flat(25) and and 2 longs(10)--->1 (for that 10 long )
one flat from here, combines with one flat previously to give 50---->1 in hundred's place

i think you have doubts on when to put 1 or 2 in middle and leftmost place.
for middle, if there are n*10, you put n
like if there were 30, you would have put 3

for leftmost digit, if there are n*50, you put n
like if it were 100, you would put 4

Answer 40

thats why for 50 i put 1 in leftmost part and for 10 i put 1 in middle giving 114

Answer 41

oaky so one more time just to make sure it is RIGHT

Answer 42

for 41= 1 flat 3 longs and 1 unit and for 23= 4 longs and 3 units regrouping and getting a total of

Answer 43

2 flats 2 longs and 4 units making 114

Answer 44
