Therefore, 11 less than 66 is 55.


Ans: We have to add 62 in 13.

Therefore, \[62 + 13 = 75\]


Ans: We have to subtract 23 from 89.

Therefore, 23 less than 89 is 66.


Ans: We have to add 10 to 40.

Therefore, 10 and 40 more is 50.


Ans: We have to add 9 for 28.

Therefore, 9 added to 28 gives 37.


Ans: We have to add 9 for 44.

Therefore, The sum of 9 and 44 is 53.


Ans: We have to subtract 34 from 98.

Therefore,Reducing 98 by 34 gives 64.


Ans: We have to add 37 in 4.

Hey! I have something more interesting for you. Ma told me, there are things to eat in some rooms. Help me find those room numbers. Mark them in my home. See what you get!


Room numbers


E.g., \[47 = 37 + 10\]

  1. 37 + 9 = ___

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: We have to add 37 in 9 to get the missing number.

Therefore, \[37 + 9 = 46\]


  1. 62 - 30 = _____

Ans: We have to subtract 30 from 62 to get the missing number.

Therefore, \[62 - 30 = 32\]


  1. _____ = 46 + 28

Ans: We have to add 46 in 28 to get the missing number.

Therefore, \[74 = 46 + 28\]


  1. _____ = 87 – 14

Ans: We have to subtract 14 from 87 to get the missing number.

Therefore,  \[73 = 87 - 14\]


  1. 62 - _____ = 43

Ans: We have to find a number so that subtracting that number from 62 will give 43. Therefore, subtract 43 from 62.

\[62 - 19 = 43\]


  1. 36 = _____ - 8

Ans: We have to find a number so that subtracting 8 from that number, we get 36 therefore, add 8 in 36.

Therefore, \[36 = 44 - 8\]


  1. 45 + ____ = 99

Ans: We have to find the number so that the sum of 45 and number should be 99. Therefore, subtract 45 from 99.

\[45 + 54 = 99\]


  1. 43 + ____ = 74

Ans: We have to find a number so that adding number in 43 and get 74 therefore, subtracting 43 from 74

\[43 + 31 = 74\]


  1. _____ + 26 = 75

Ans: We have to find a number so that adding the number in 26 will give s=us 75. Therefore, subtracting 26 from 75

\[49 + 26 = 75\]


  1. 100 = ___ + 50

Ans: We have to find a number so that adding a number in 50 will give 100. Therefore, subtracting 50 from 100

\[100 = 50 + 50\]


  1. ___ - 1 = 1

Ans: We have to find a number so that subtracting 1 from that number gives us 1. Therefore, we can put 2 in the blank to get,

\[2 - 1 = 1\]


  1. 57 - ____ = 20

Ans: We have to find a number so that subtracting that number from 57 will give us 20. Therefore, subtracting 20 from 57

\[57 - 37 = 20\]
