Marta picked 37 apples. Jin picked 35 apples. Ken picked 23 apples. How can you use place value to find the number of apples picked in all?
3 + 3 + 2 = 8 tens
7 + 5 + 3 = 15 ones
To find the total number of apples picked by Marta, Jin, and Ken, you can use place value. Place value refers to the numerical value of a digit based on its position in a number. In this case, we can add up the apples picked by each person by aligning the digits in the ones place, tens place, and hundreds place.
First, let's add up the number of apples picked in the ones place: 7 + 5 + 3 = 15. Since 15 is greater than or equal to 10, we carry over the tens place value, which is 1.
Next, let's add up the number of apples picked in the tens place: 3 + 3 + 2 (from the carried over tens place) = 8.
Finally, let's add up the number of apples picked in the hundreds place: 1 (from the carried over tens place).
So, in total, Marta, Jin, and Ken picked 137 apples.
