Describe a way to calculate 304-81 mentally by using reasoning other that the common subtraction algorithm. Then write a coherent sequence of equations that correspond to your reasoning

Respuesta :

Answer:

The required way is shown above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided calculation.

304 – 81 is very close to 304 – 100,

Now subtract 100 from 304 mentally, it will gives us 204

Now add 19 as we round 81 to 100.

204 + 19 = 223

So, the answer is 223.

Now write a coherent sequence of equations that correspond to your reasoning.

304 – 81  =  304 – (100 – 19)

                = (304 – 100) + 19  

                =  204 + 19  =  223

Hence, the required way is shown above.
