Solve the subtraction exercise,
using two jumps on the number line below:
78−□=44
To solve the subtraction problem 78−□=44 using two jumps on a number line, we'll proceed as follows:
- Step 1: Start at 78 on the number line.
- Step 2: Make the first jump to the next convenient round number, which is 70 (as it simplifies the calculation).
- Step 3: Calculate this first jump as 78−70=8.
- Step 4: Make the second jump from 70 directly to 44 (the target number).
- Step 5: Calculate this second jump as 70−44=26.
- Step 6: Add the two jumps together: 8+26=34.
Therefore, the missing number that satisfies 78−□=44 is □=34.
