Examples with solutions for Addition: Complete the missing numbers

Exercise #1

Solve the addition exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

33+=42 33+\Box=42

333333424242

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 33+=42 33 + \Box = 42 using the number line, we will make strategic jumps:

First, jump from 33 to the nearest higher round number, which is 40:

  • This first jump is 4033=7 40 - 33 = 7 .

Next, jump from 40 to 42:

  • This second jump is 4240=2 42 - 40 = 2 .

Add the two jumps to find \Box:

  • =7+2=9\Box = 7 + 2 = 9

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 9 9 .

Exercise #2

Solve the addition exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

24+=31 24+\Box=31

242424313131

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem using a number line and two jumps, follow these steps:

  • Start at 24 on the number line.
  • The first jump will move us to the nearest convenient round number, which is 30. This jump is 3024=630 - 24 = 6.
  • From 30, we need to jump to 31. The second jump is 3130=131 - 30 = 1.
  • Add the two jumps together: 6+1=76 + 1 = 7.

Therefore, the number that fills the gap \Box in the equation 24+=3124 + \Box = 31 is 77.

Exercise #3

Solve the addition exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

81+=98 81+\Box=98

818181989898

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 81+=9881 + \Box = 98 using two jumps along a number line, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Start at 81 on the number line.
  • Step 2: Make the first jump from 81 to the next convenient round number: 90.
  • Step 3: Calculate the increase from 81 to 90: 9081=990 - 81 = 9.
  • Step 4: Make the second jump from 90 to 98.
  • Step 5: Calculate the increase from 90 to 98: 9890=898 - 90 = 8.
  • Step 6: Add both jumps to determine the total required increment: 9+8=179 + 8 = 17.

The total increment needed to go from 81 to 98 using two jumps is 1717.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is =17\Box = 17.

Exercise #4

Solve the addition exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

67+=93 67+\Box=93

676767939393

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 67+=93 67 + \Box = 93 using two jumps on the number line, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the first jump to reach the next round number. From 67, the nearest round number is 70. This jump is 7067=3 70 - 67 = 3 .
  • Step 2: From 70, jump to the target number, 93. This jump is 9370=23 93 - 70 = 23 .
  • Step 3: Combine the two jumps to find the total amount needed to reach 93 from 67. Therefore, the total is 3+23=26 3 + 23 = 26 .

The number that satisfies 67+=93 67 + \Box = 93 is 26 26 .

Exercise #5

Solve the addition exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

48+=83 48+\Box=83

484848838383

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 48+=83 48 + \Box = 83 , we need to find the missing value that, when added to 48, equals 83. We'll visualize this using the number line and break this addition into two steps:

  • Step 1: Start at 48. For simplicity, make the first jump to 50 (an easy round number that's close to 48). This jump is 2 2 units: 48+2=50 48 + 2 = 50 .
  • Step 2: Now, calculate the remaining distance to 83 from 50. This distance is 33 33 because 50+33=83 50 + 33 = 83 .

By taking these two jumps, first adding 2 and then adding 33, the total addition is:

2+33=35 2 + 33 = 35 .

Therefore, the missing addend in 48+=83 48 + \Box = 83 is 35 35 .

Exercise #6

Solve the addition exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

33+=68 33+\Box=68

333333686868

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the difference from 33 to a rounded next number which is 40. The first jump is 4033=740 - 33 = 7.
  • Step 2: From 40, calculate the difference to 68. The second jump is 6840=2868 - 40 = 28.
  • Step 3: Add the values of both jumps to find the total missing number.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: From 33 to 40 is a jump of 7.
Step 2: From 40 to 68 is a jump of 28.
Step 3: The total added amount is 7+28=357 + 28 = 35.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 35 35 .

Exercise #7

Solve the addition exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

24+=45 24+\Box=45

242424454545

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the equation 24+=45 24 + \Box = 45 using two jumps on a number line, we will take the following approach:

  • Step 1: Make the first jump from 24 to the closest higher round number, which is 30.
  • Step 2: Calculate how much is needed to reach from 30 to 45.
  • Finally, we combine the lengths of the two jumps to find \Box .

Now, let's calculate each step:

Step 1: The first jump from 24 to 30 is 6 units.

Step 2: From 30 to 45, the jump is 15 units.

Adding these two jumps: 6+15=21 6 + 15 = 21 .

Therefore, the number that completes the equation 24+=45 24 + \Box = 45 is 21 21 .

Exercise #8

Solve the addition exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

46+=55 46+\Box=55

464646555555

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the addition problem 46+=55 46 + \Box = 55 with two jumps on the number line, follow these steps:

  • First, identify the starting point, which is 46, and the desired endpoint, which is 55.
  • Make the first jump from 46 to the next higher round number. This number is 50 because it is the nearest round number greater than 46.
  • The length of this first jump is calculated by subtracting 46 from 50, which is 5046=4 50 - 46 = 4 .
  • From 50, make the second jump to reach 55.
  • The length of this second jump is obtained by subtracting 50 from 55, which is 5550=5 55 - 50 = 5 .
  • Add the lengths of both jumps to find the missing number \Box:
  • =4+5=9\Box = 4 + 5 = 9

Therefore, the solution to the problem is the missing number \Box, which is 9 9 .

Exercise #9

Solve the following equation,

using two jumps on the number line below:

87+=92 87+\Box=92

878787929292

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of 87+=92 87 + \Box = 92 by using two jumps on the number line, we begin by identifying and making our jumps:

  • First jump: Move from 87 to the nearest round number, which is 90. This jump is of size 9087=3 90 - 87 = 3 .
  • Second jump: Now move from 90 to 92. This jump is of size 9290=2 92 - 90 = 2 .

Add the two jumps together:
First jump: 3
Second jump: 2
Total jump: 3+2=5 3 + 2 = 5

Therefore, the value of the box (\Box) that satisfies the equation 87+=92 87 + \Box = 92 is =5 \Box = 5 .

Exercise #10

Solve the addition exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

15+=37 15+\Box=37

151515373737

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the given problem, we need to find the missing number that, when added to 15, equals 37. We'll use a number line approach that involves taking two jumps.

First, we'll make a jump from 15 to the next round (friendly) number, which is 20. This first jump is:

2015=520 - 15 = 5

Next, we'll make a second jump from 20 to 37. This second jump is:

3720=1737 - 20 = 17

Now, we'll add these two jumps together to find the total increase from 15 to 37:

5+17=225 + 17 = 22

Thus, the value of the missing number is 2222.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is =22 \Box = 22 .
