Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
Problem 1: Lions
We are told:
- 3 lions were lying under the tree.
- 2 lions were standing by the rock.
To find the total, we add them:
3 + 2 = 5
Now look at the equations given:
- 3 + 2 = 5 → This matches!
- 3 + 1 = 4 → This does not match.
✔ So for Problem 1, the correct equation is
3 + 2 = 5

Problem 2: Zebras
We are told:
- 2 zebras were standing by the tree.
- 4 zebras were standing by the pond.
Add them:
2 + 4 = 6 (or 4 + 2 = 6 — same thing!)
Given equations:
- 4 + 3 = 7 → Not correct.
- 4 + 2 = 6 → Correct!
✔ So for Problem 2, the correct equation is
4 + 2 = 6

Problem 3: Monkeys
We are told:
- 5 monkeys were swinging in a tree.
- 3 monkeys were on the ground.
Add them:
5 + 3 = 8
Given equations:
- 5 + 3 = 8 → Correct!
- 6 + 3 = 9 → Not correct.
✔ So for Problem 3, the correct equation is
5 + 3 = 8

Final Answer:
1. 3+2=5
2. 4+2=6
3. 5+3=8
