Let’s solve each problem one at a time, step by step.

Problem 1: Zara at the zoo
Zara saw:
- 16 koalas
- 29 chimpanzees
- 13 baby elephants
To find how many animals she saw altogether, we add them up:
First, add 16 + 29
→ 16 + 29 = 45
Then add 45 + 13
→ 45 + 13 = 58
✔ So, Zara saw
58 animals.

Problem 2: Ryan’s birthday party
People who came:
- 15 family members
- 11 school friends
- 18 basketball team people
Add them all together:
Start with 15 + 11
→ 15 + 11 = 26
Then add 26 + 18
→ 26 + 18 = 44
✔ So,
44 people came to Ryan’s party altogether.

Problem 3: Maya’s friends
Maya has friends from:
- China: 19
- India: 11
- Australia: 22
Add them:
First, 19 + 11 = 30
Then, 30 + 22 = 52
✔ So, Maya had
52 friends altogether.
