8 ss hhh hhh hhh hhh hh ttt ttt ttt ttt OR sss hhhh h tt
16 sss sss hhhh h hhhh h tt tt OR sss sss s tt tt.
To make up the number 21 on the left we need to use the first, third and fifth rows.
This means that we will add the corresponding numbers 44, 176, 704.
44 is represented by hhhh tttt
176 is represented by s hhh hhh h ttt ttt
}704 is represented by sss sss s tt tt.
This gives us a total of sss sss s s hhh hhh h hhhh tt tt ttt ttt tttt, which is regrouped as
sss sss s s s hh tttt. This represents 924

&#I need to see the questions so I can be sure what your answers mean. Most of the time I can tell, but I'm dealing with information that comes in from over 1000 different files, containing a total of about 10 000 questions. While I'm familiar with the content and sequencing of the questions, having written them all, and know what I'm looking for, different students will answer these questions in different ways and I need to be able to relate your answers to the specific wording of each question.
When reviewing my responses you will also need to be able to relate your answers and my comments to the specifics of the original document.
So it will be important for you on future documents to insert your responses into a copy of the original document, according to instructions, without otherwise changing any of the content of the original document.
This will ensure you of the best possible feedback on your work. &#
