Example Question #391 : Whole And Part
Find the missing number.
To find the missing part, think: 17 (part) plus what (missing part) equals 28 (whole)?
We can find the missing part by using the idea that whole minus part equals the missing part.
So, the missing part is 11. We can check by adding the parts and getting the whole (28).
