Add 24five 33five in base five The numbers are already writ

Add 24_five + 33_five in base five. (The numbers are already written in base five, so there should be no conversions done.) How would you illustrate this with the base five blocks using drawings and showing the intermediate steps?

Solution

24_five+33_five=?

24_five has 2 longs and 4 units

33_five has 3 longs and 3 units

I can put five of the units together to build another long. So the minimal set has 5 longs and 3 units

24_five+33_five=53_five
