To find the missing numerator, we need to make the addition sentence true by finding a number that, when paired with 57 and added to 3257, equals 5457.
Let's solve for the missing numerator:
3257 + ?57 = 5457
First, subtract 3257 from both sides of the equation:
?57 = 5457 - 3257
Now, calculate the difference:
?57 = 2200
Since we're looking for a number that, when 57 is appended to it, equals 2200, we can tell that the number we're looking for is simply:
? = 22
So, the correct answer is 22, and when it replaces the question mark, the addition sentence becomes true:
3257 + 2257 = 5457
Therefore, the missing numerator is 22.
