Justine has 162 red buttons, 98 blue buttons, and 284 buttons. She says she knows she has more than 500 buttons without adding. How can we explain that without adding?
I showed you how to find the answer by subtracting.
500 - 284 = 216
216 - 98 = 118
118 is more than 162, so you know that those numbers than 500.
You know that those numbers add up to more than 500.
Thank you, Ms. Sue!
You're welcome, Kylie.
Thanks for the help
55 x 55 is more than 1000
500 - 284 = 216
216 - 98 = 118
