(b)
Transcribed Image Text:What number would be represented if the beads on the abacus described are as shown in the diagrams on the right? (а) (b)
The abacus shown on the right has "five" playing the role of "ten." Thus, 42 would be represented on the abacus as shown here.
Moreover, it would be recorded as 132 and read as "one three two" and not as "one hundred thirty-two."
