Describe a way to calculate 304-81 mentally by using reasoning other that the common subtraction algorithm. then write a coherent sequence of equations that correspond to your reasoning

A simple way to mentally subtract is to simplify the numbers, subtract, then subtract or add for the simplified answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple way to mentally subtract is to simplify the numbers, subtract, then subtract or add for the simplified answer. For this 304 - 81 is easier as 300 - 80. Make note that we took away 4 from 304 and 1 from 81. Now we just subtract mentally, and 300 - 80 = 220. If we took 4 from 304, this means that our answer should be 4 less, since 4 less would be 304 - 80 = 216. If we took 1 from 81, then we add 1 back to get the equation 304 - 81 = 217.

304 - 81 = ?

300 - 80 = 220

304 - 80 = 216

304 - 81 = 217

step-by-step explanation:

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft
