Number Line Subtraction: Solve 92-7 Using Two Jumps

Solve the subtraction exercise,

using two jumps,

on the number line below:

$92-7=$

To solve the problem $92 - 7$ using a number line, we'll break the subtraction into two smaller steps. This method can help by using round numbers and ensuring accuracy:

• Step 1: Start at 92. We choose to subtract 2 to reach a round number, 90.
• Step 2: Now at 90, subtract the remaining 5 to reach the final result.
