What other compatible numbers could you use for 428 and 286

1 answer:

4 0

How about raising 286 up by 14 to 300 and compensating by lowering 428 by the same 14 Since I know that 14 + 14 is 28 then 28-14 is 14
So 428 - 14 = 414
So now I have 414 + 300 which I can do mentally - the answer is 714 and is also the answer to the original problem 428 + 286

Compensation works very well - bring one number up or down to a rounded number and compensate by doing the opposite to the other - instead of 199 + 457 - try 200 + 456
Same answer and because one of the numbers is nicely rounded, it is easy to add the other.

One more: 207 + 182 becomes 200 + 189 =389 I lowered one by 7 and raised the other one by the same 7.

Minimum of three ways 24 is used in real world

Troyanec [42]

The number 24 can identify a specific object such as a train, bus or floor level.
The number 24 can also be used to let someone know how much of something you have such as if there are 24 guests at a gathering or 24 puppies for sale.
The number 24 can also be a way to communicate. There are 26 letters in the alphabet. If you use numbers to spell out a word. For example, if you want to spell out "exactly" then you would use the numbers "5,24,1,3,20,12,25" to spell it out.
