Missing Number in Addition
This concept will help reinforce the theory of addition and will also set up base for Introductory Algebra. Here a addition expression is provided with one missing number. You have to use the concept of addition to find the number which fulfills the expression correctly.
This types of questions are tricky as they are not that straightforward and you need to have good command of numbers and counting.
Let us consider some examples of his type of problem
Example 01
Fill in the blanks with suitable number
2 + ____ = 7
Here, we have number 2 with us.
Now what number will it take to make number 7 ?
Answer is 5
If we add 2 with 5 we will get 7
Hence 5 is the right answer
Example 02
Find the missing number for below addition expression
5 + ______ = 9
Here we have number 5 with us
Now what number will it take to make final number 9
Answer is 4
If we add number 4 to number 5 we will get 9
5 + 4 = 9
Now you have understood one example, it is now time to solve some questions.
