Jonah wants to add 43+19. He added 43+20. What step should he take next?
Shouldn't he subtract 1?
subtract 1
To find the correct sum, Jonah needs to subtract 1 from the sum he got by adding 43 and 20. Here's how:
Step 1: Jonah added 43 and 20, which gave him a sum of 63.
Step 2: Since Jonah should have added 19 instead of 20, he needs to correct that by subtracting 1.
Step 3: Subtracting 1 from 63 gives Jonah the correct sum of 62.
So, Jonah should subtract 1 from the sum he obtained by adding 43 and 20 to get the correct answer of 62.
