a) A sum is \(820\). One addend is \(550\). What is the other addend? b) First find \(190 + 430\). How does the sum change if each addend is increased by \(10\)?

Hints

- Subtract the known addend from the sum to find the missing addend. - Calculate the original sum before changing the addends. - Account for the increase in both addends.

Solution

1. Part a: Subtract the known addend from the sum: \(820 - 550 = 270\). 2. Part b: The original sum is \(190 + 430 = 620\). 3. Increasing both addends by \(10\) gives \(200 + 440 = 640\). 4. The sum increases by \(20\) because each of the two addends increases by \(10\).

Answer

a) The other addend is \(270\). b) The original sum is \(620\). The new sum is \(640\), so the sum increases by \(20\).

Lucas wants to find \(295 + 48\) mentally. He first calculates \(300 + 48 = 348\). a) Explain what Lucas must do next to get the correct sum. What is the sum? b) Use Lucas’s compensation strategy to find each sum. \(57 + 99\) \(146 + 19\)

Hints

- Did Lucas add too much or too little at first? - What adjustment will undo that extra amount? - Which nearby numbers are easier to add than \(99\) and \(19\)?

Solution

1. Lucas used \(300\) instead of \(295\), so he added \(5\) too much. Subtract \(5\) from \(348\): \(348 - 5 = 343\). 2. For \(57 + 99\), use \(57 + 100 = 157\), then subtract \(1\): \(157 - 1 = 156\). 3. For \(146 + 19\), use \(146 + 20 = 166\), then subtract \(1\): \(166 - 1 = 165\).

Answer

a) Lucas must subtract \(5\). The sum is \(343\). b) \(57 + 99 = 156\) \(146 + 19 = 165\)

Sometimes you can add numbers in a more convenient order. Compare these two methods for \(34 + 57 + 66\). Method A: \(34 + 57 = 91\), then \(91 + 66 = 157\) Method B: \(34 + 66 = 100\), then \(100 + 57 = 157\) Which method is easier? Briefly explain. Then find each sum using the most efficient order. a) \(123 + 49 + 77\) b) \(250 + 368 + 150\)

Hints

- What do you notice when you add \(34\) and \(66\)? - Is \(91 + 66\) or \(100 + 57\) easier to find mentally? - In the new problems, look for addends that make a multiple of \(100\).

Solution

1. Method B is easier because \(34 + 66 = 100\), and adding to \(100\) is simple. 2. For part a, first add \(123 + 77 = 200\). Then \(200 + 49 = 249\). 3. For part b, first add \(250 + 150 = 400\). Then \(400 + 368 = 768\).

Answer

Method B is easier because \(34 + 66 = 100\). a) \(249\) b) \(768\)

Compare the sums. Write \(<\), \(>\), or \(=\) in each box. a) \(430 + 280 \quad \square \quad 520 + 190\) b) \(360 + 470 \quad \square \quad 250 + 590\) c) \(180 + 740 \quad \square \quad 630 + 290\)

Hints

- Evaluate the left sum first. - Evaluate the right sum next. - Compare the two results. - Before calculating exactly, look for compensating changes in the addends.

Solution

1. For a), \(430 + 280 = 710\) and \(520 + 190 = 710\), so the sums are equal. 2. For b), \(360 + 470 = 830\) and \(250 + 590 = 840\), so \(830 < 840\). 3. For c), \(180 + 740 = 920\) and \(630 + 290 = 920\), so the sums are equal.

Answer

a) \(=\) b) \(<\) c) \(=\)

Hints

- Look for two addends that make a multiple of \(100\). - Can you form two convenient pairs from the four addends? - Find each pair’s sum, then add the two results.

Solution

1. For part a, pair \(57 + 43 = 100\) and \(34 + 66 = 100\). Then \(100 + 100 = 200\). 2. For part b, pair \(215 + 85 = 300\) and \(88 + 12 = 100\). Then \(300 + 100 = 400\). 3. For part c, pair \(46 + 54 = 100\) and \(127 + 73 = 200\). Then \(100 + 200 = 300\).

Answer

a) \(200\) b) \(400\) c) \(300\)

Consider the addition equation \(340 + 180\). a) What mathematical term describes the numbers \(340\) and \(180\)? b) Calculate the result. What is the mathematical term for this result? c) Increase the first number by \(20\) and decrease the second number by \(20\). How does the new sum compare with the sum from part b)? Explain.

Hints

- Recall the names of the numbers and result in an addition equation. - Calculate both the original and changed equations. - Compare the equal-sized changes to the two addends.

Solution

1. Part a: The numbers being added are called addends. 2. Part b: \(340 + 180 = 520\). The result of addition is called the sum. 3. Part c: The new addends are \(340 + 20 = 360\) and \(180 - 20 = 160\). 4. The new sum is \(360 + 160 = 520\). 5. The sum stays the same because increasing one addend by \(20\) and decreasing the other by \(20\) are equal and opposite changes.

Answer

a) The numbers are addends. b) The result is \(520\), and it is called the sum. c) The sum remains \(520\) because the increase of \(20\) in one addend is offset by the decrease of \(20\) in the other addend.

Find the digits that must replace the stars so that the sum is \(127\).
Figure for problem 536225

Hints

- Start in the ones place and remember that you may need to regroup. - Then work one place at a time from right to left.

Solution

1. Ones place: \(* + 8 = 17\), so the missing ones digit is \(9\). Regroup \(1\) ten. 2. Tens place: \(* + 8 + 1 = 12\), so the missing tens digit is \(3\). Regroup \(1\) hundred. 3. The regrouped \(1\) becomes the hundreds digit of the sum. The completed equation is \(39 + 88 = 127\).

Answer

The missing digits are \(3\) and \(9\). The completed equation is \(39 + 88 = 127\).

Use the digit cards \(0, 1, 2, 3, 4,\) and \(5\) to make two three-digit numbers. Use each card exactly once. a) What is the least possible sum? b) What is the greatest possible sum?

Hints

- A digit in the hundreds place affects the sum more than a digit in the tens or ones place. - A three-digit number cannot have \(0\) in the hundreds place. - For the least sum, place the least possible digits in the highest-value places; reverse that idea for the greatest sum.

Solution

1. To minimize the sum, place the least nonzero digits, \(1\) and \(2\), in the hundreds places. Place the next least digits, \(0\) and \(3\), in the tens places, and place \(4\) and \(5\) in the ones places. 2. One possible arrangement is \(104+235=339\). Any arrangement with the same pairs of place-value digits has the same least sum. 3. To maximize the sum, place \(5\) and \(4\) in the hundreds places, \(3\) and \(2\) in the tens places, and \(1\) and \(0\) in the ones places. 4. One possible arrangement is \(531+420=951\).

Answer

a) \(339\) b) \(951\)
5160113
Use the digit cards \(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,\) and \(8\). Choose six cards to make two three-digit numbers whose sum is exactly \(999\). Use each chosen card exactly once. Which two cards can be left over?

Hints

- Consider whether a carry is possible in any place-value column. - Find pairs of available digits that have a sum of \(9\). - You need three such pairs to make the two numbers.

Solution

1. Since the greatest possible sum of two different digits from the set is less than \(19\), no column can produce a carry while the total is \(999\). 2. Therefore, the two digits in each place must have a sum of \(9\). 3. The available pairs are \((1,8)\), \((2,7)\), \((3,6)\), and \((4,5)\). 4. Choose any three of these pairs for the hundreds, tens, and ones places. The unused pair is left over. 5. For example, \(123+876=999\), leaving \(4\) and \(5\).

Answer

The possible leftover pairs are \(1\) and \(8\), \(2\) and \(7\), \(3\) and \(6\), or \(4\) and \(5\). Examples: \(234+765=999\), leaving \(1\) and \(8\) \(134+865=999\), leaving \(2\) and \(7\) \(124+875=999\), leaving \(3\) and \(6\) \(123+876=999\), leaving \(4\) and \(5\)
5160123
You have digit cards \(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,\) and \(7\). Make two three-digit numbers whose sum is exactly \(500\). Use each selected card only once. Write one possible addition equation.

Hints

- Choose ones digits whose sum ends in \(0\), and account for any regrouped ten. - Use the regrouped ten when choosing the tens digits. - In the hundreds place, include the regrouped hundred so that the total is \(5\).

Solution

1. To make \(0\) in the ones place of the sum, choose two ones digits with a sum of \(10\), such as \(6\) and \(4\). Regroup \(1\) ten. 2. The tens digits and the regrouped ten must total \(10\), so the two tens digits must have a sum of \(9\), such as \(2\) and \(7\). Regroup \(1\) hundred. 3. The hundreds digits and the regrouped hundred must total \(5\), so the two hundreds digits must have a sum of \(4\), such as \(1\) and \(3\). 4. This gives \(126+374=500\), using six different cards.

Answer

One possible equation is \(126+374=500\). Other answers are possible.
