Solve 17 + 7 Using Two Jumps on the Number Line

Solve the addition exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

$17+7=$

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

• Step 1: Start at the number 17 on the number line.
• Step 2: Make the first jump of $+3$.
• Step 3: Make the second jump of $+4$.
• Step 4: Record the final position.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We begin at 17 and plan our jumps.
Step 2: The first jump of $+3$ takes us from 17 to $17 + 3 = 20$.
Step 3: The second jump of $+4$ takes us from 20 to $20 + 4 = 24$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem, using two jumps on the number line, is $24$.
