Solve 46-9 Using Number Line Jump Strategy

Solve the subtraction exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

$46-9=$

To solve $46 - 9$ using two jumps on the number line, we can break the subtraction into simpler steps as follows:

• Step 1: Start at 46.
• Step 2: Make the first jump backwards by 6, moving from 46 to 40.
• Step 3: Make the second jump backwards by 3, moving from 40 to 37.

Thus, by performing these two jumps, we compute $46 - 9 = 37$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $37$.
