110?110=0 110\text{?}110=0

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Determine which operation(s) are correct
00:03 Calculate each possibility and select the correct one
00:09 Let's use long addition for calculation
00:14 Adding means increasing the number, so it's definitely not suitable
00:17 Let's use long multiplication for calculation
00:48 Multiplying the number means increasing it, so it's not suitable
01:01 Any number divided by itself always equals 1, not suitable
01:15 Let's use long subtraction for calculation
01:25 Any number minus itself always equals 0, suitable
01:30 This is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the given numbers and equation structure.
  • Step 2: Analyze each potential operation to see which one results in zero.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The given equation is 110?110=0 110 \text{?} 110 = 0 . We need to find the correct operation between the two 110s to make the equation true.

Step 2: We consider the following operations:

  • Addition: 110+110=220 110 + 110 = 220 , which is not equal to 0.
  • Multiplication: 110×110=12100 110 \times 110 = 12100 , which is not equal to 0.
  • Division: 110÷110=1 110 \div 110 = 1 , which is not equal to 0.
  • Subtraction: 110110=0 110 - 110 = 0 , which is equal to 0.

Upon analyzing these operations, subtraction is the only operation that satisfies the equation 110110=0 110 - 110 = 0 .

Therefore, the correct sign to use is -.
