Let's solve this step by step. We have 178 big monkeys in the park.
The problem tells us that small monkeys are 56 more than big monkeys.
So we need to find how many small monkeys there are, and then calculate the total.
Now let's calculate step by step. First, we need to find how many small monkeys there are.
The problem says small monkeys are 56 more than big monkeys.
So we add 56 to 178. One hundred seventy-eight plus fifty-six equals two hundred thirty-four small monkeys.
Now for step two, we calculate the total number of monkeys.
We add the big monkeys and small monkeys together.
One hundred seventy-eight big monkeys plus two hundred thirty-four small monkeys equals four hundred twelve monkeys in total.
Let's review our complete solution. In step one, we calculated that there are 234 small monkeys by adding 56 to 178.
In step two, we found the total by adding 178 big monkeys and 234 small monkeys, which gives us 412 monkeys.
Therefore, there are 412 monkeys in total in the park.
Perfect! We have successfully solved the monkey problem.
The park has 178 big monkeys, and 234 small monkeys, which gives us a total of 412 monkeys.
This type of addition problem helps us practice combining different quantities to find totals.
Great job solving this step by step!
