Example Question #122 : Working With Addition And Subtraction Equations

Fill in the blank. 

\displaystyle 5+__________\displaystyle =11

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 6

\displaystyle 4

\displaystyle 2

\displaystyle 3

\displaystyle 5

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 6

Explanation:

This question is asking what can we add to \displaystyle 5 to get to \displaystyle 11

We can count up from \displaystyle 5 until we get to \displaystyle 11, and count the number of numbers we had to add after \displaystyle 5

\displaystyle 5,6,7,8,9,10,11

We have to add \displaystyle 6 numbers to get from \displaystyle 5 to \displaystyle 11

Or we can subtract to find the missing number. 

\displaystyle \frac{\begin{array}[b]{r}11\\ -\ \ 5\end{array}}{ \ \ \ \ \space 6}
