Solve 1220-44 Using Number Line Jump Strategy

Solve the exercise using the number line jumps below:

$1220-44=$

We start the subtraction on a number line beginning at $1220$. We need to reduce this number by $44$ in stages as indicated by the number line jumps.

• Step 1: Starting from $1220$, we make a jump of 20: $1220 - 20 = 1200$.
• Step 2: From $1200$, make another jump of 20: $1200 - 20 = 1180$.
• Step 3: Finally, make a small jump of 4: $1180 - 4 = 1176$.

Adding the sections, we've successfully subtracted $44$ using the number line jumps: a total of two jumps of $20$ and one of $4$, bringing us from $1220$ to $1176$.

Therefore, the final calculated solution is $1176$.
