Tell how to find [tex]81 - 16[/tex] using mental math.

Asked by mmmajmcam

Answer (3)

Mental math means calculating the given numbers without using anything that can help you solve the problem like paper and pen, calculator, etc.
Now let’s have 81-16
=> 81 -16
=> 65
Now, let’s check if our answer is correct by adding the answer or the difference by the subtrahend.
By the way in subtraction
81 => minuend
16 => subtrahend
65 => difference
=> 65 + 16
=> 81
Our answer is correct. Hope this help.

we have
( 81 − 16 )
One way to use mental math is to add 4 to both 81 and 16
so
81 + 4 = 85 16 + 4 = 20 85 − 20 = 65
therefore
81 − 16 = 65
the answer is
65

To find 81 − 16 using mental math, break down 16 into 10 and 6 . Subtract 10 from 81 to get 71 , then subtract 6 from 71 to get the final answer of 65 .
