Exercise #6

88+7= ? 88+7=\text{ ?}

22255588

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of finding the sum of 88+7 88 + 7 , we will proceed with simple addition.

Step 1: Align the numbers vertically by place value:

  88
+ 07
-----

Step 2: Add starting from the rightmost column (units place):

  • Add the digits in the units place: 8+7=15 8 + 7 = 15 . Since this is a two-digit result, write down 5 and carry over the 1 to the tens column.
  • Now add the tens column: 8+1=9 8 + 1 = 9 (where 8 is from the original tens place of 88, and 1 is the carry-over from the previous step).

Step 3: Write down the results:

  88
+ 07
-----
  95

Therefore, the sum of 88+7 88 + 7 is 95 95 .

The calculated result, 95 95 , matches the first choice provided in the question options, verifying our answer.

Exercise #7

Solve the subtraction exercise,

using two jumps,

on the number line below:

927= 92-7=

22255592

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 927 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:

Exercise #13

Solve the following equation using the number line below:

55=28 55-\Box=28

282828555555

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the equation 55=28 55 - \Box = 28 using a number line, start at 55 and jump to 50, an easy anchor point, requiring a jump of 5 units.

Exercise #15

Solve the subtraction exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

15=9 15-\Box=9

999151515

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 15=9 15 - \Box = 9 using two jumps on a number line, we need to break down this subtraction into simpler parts.

If we think of the subtraction using two jumps, one effective strategy is:

  • First, subtract 5 from 15 to reach the intermediate round number, 10: 155=10 15 - 5 = 10 .
  • Second, subtract from the intermediate number, 10, to reach the target, 9: 101=9 10 - 1 = 9 .

Adding both jumps together, 5+1=6 5 + 1 = 6 . Thus, the missing number in the original expression is 6 6 .

The final solution to the problem is =6 \Box = 6 .

Exercise #16

Solve the subtraction exercise,

using two jumps on the the number line below:

34=26 34-\Box=26

262626343434

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this subtraction exercise, we will use two jumps on the number line:

  • Step 1: Start at 34 and make the first jump to the nearest round number, which is 30. This jump represents subtracting 4 from 34, so 344=30 34 - 4 = 30 .
  • Step 2: From 30, make the second jump to 26. This jump represents subtracting another 4, so 304=26 30 - 4 = 26 .
  • Now, adding the two jumps: 4+4=8 4 + 4 = 8 .

Therefore, the value in the equation 34=26 34 - \Box = 26 is 8 8 .

Exercise #18

Solve the subtraction exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

74=38 74-\Box=38

383838747474

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the problem step by step.

The problem is to find the number to subtract from 74 so that the result is 38, using two jumps on a number line.

We start at 74 and need to end at 38. To do this efficiently and using the number line strategy, we break it down into two jumps:

  • First, consider an easy first jump to a round number from 74. The nearest round number less than 74 is 70.
    This first jump is from 74 to 70, which is a jump of 7470=474 - 70 = 4.
  • Now, from 70, we need to reach the desired 38. Calculate the second jump: 7038=3270 - 38 = 32.

By making these two jumps, we have:

  • First jump: 74 to 70, subtracting 4.
  • Second jump: 70 to 38, subtracting 32.

Adding the two jumps: 4+32=364 + 32 = 36.

Therefore, the solution to 74=38 74 - \Box = 38 is =36 \Box = 36 .

The correct choice from the options provided is 36.

In conclusion, the missing number in the subtraction is =36\Box = 36.

Exercise #19

Solve the subtraction exercise,

using two jumps on the number line below:

95=87 95-\Box=87

878787959595

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve 95=87 95 - \Box = 87 , we will use the number line, making two jumps from 95 to 87.

First, identify the numbers on the number line:

  • Start at: 95
  • End at: 87

Step 1: Make the first jump to the next round number below 95, which is 90. Calculate this jump:

  • Jump from 95 to 90: 9590=5 95 - 90 = 5

Step 2: Make the second jump from 90 to 87. Calculate this jump:

  • Jump from 90 to 87: 9087=3 90 - 87 = 3

Add the two jumps together to find the total subtraction:

  • Total subtraction: 5+3=8 5 + 3 = 8

Therefore, the missing number is =8\Box = 8.

The correct answer is 8 8 .

787878828282

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the subtraction 82=78 82 - \Box = 78 using jumps on a number line, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Start at the number 82 on the number line.
  • Step 2: Make the first small jump down to 80, the closest round number below 82.
  • Step 3: Calculate the size of this jump. The jump from 82 to 80 is 82 - 80 = 2.
  • Step 4: From 80, make a second jump down to 78.
  • Step 5: Calculate the size of this second jump. The jump from 80 to 78 is 80 - 78 = 2.
  • Step 6: Add the sizes of both jumps to determine the total subtracted value: 2 + 2 = 4.

Therefore, the value of \Box in the subtraction problem 82=78 82 - \Box = 78 is 4 4 .
