Math: Elementary School: Grades 3, 4 and 5 Quiz - Addition and Subtraction 6 (Answers)
1. 16 + 17 = ?
[ ] 35
[ ] 36
[x] 33
[ ] 37
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 16 + 17 = (10 + 10) + (6 + 7) = 20 + 13 = 33
2. 27 + 46 + 83 = ?
[ ] 168
[ ] 158
[ ] 165
[x] 156
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 27 + 46 + 83 = (20 + 40 + 80) + (7 + 6 + 3) = 140 + 16 = 156
3. 3 - 6 + 17 + 28 = ?
[ ] 44
[x] 42
[ ] 43
[ ] 46
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 3 - 6 + 17 + 28 = (10 + 20) + (7 + 8 + 3) - (6) = 30 + 18 - 6 = 48 - 6 = 42
4. 37 - 19 = ?
[ ] 19
[ ] 16
[x] 18
[ ] 17
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 37 - 19 = (30 - 10) + (7 - 9) = 20 - 2 = 18
5. 6 + 6 + 6 - 6 = ?
[ ] 18
[ ] 24
[x] 12
[ ] 6
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. (6 + 6 + 6) - 6 = 18 - 6 = 12
6. 25 - 47 + 89 - 5 = ?
[ ] 61
[x] 62
[ ] 64
[ ] 63
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 25 - 47 + 89 - 5 = (20 + 80 - 40) + (5 + 9 - 7 - 5) = 60 + 2 = 62
7. 13 + 14 + 36 = ?
[x] 63
[ ] 61
[ ] 62
[ ] 65
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 13 + 14 + 36 = (10 + 10 + 30) + (3 + 4 + 6) = 50 + 13 = 63. Don't forget: sometimes you will spot an easy addition which will make the calculation easier, e.g. 14 + 36 = 50
8. 19 - 27 + 56 = ?
[ ] 49
[ ] 51
[x] 48
[ ] 53
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 19 - 27 + 56 = (10 + 50 - 20) + (9 + 6 - 7) = 40 + 8 = 48. You could write '19' as '20 - 1' and do the calculation using this. Always BE ON THE LOOKOUT for useful simplifications
9. 47 - 58 + 19 = ?
[x] 8
[ ] 7
[ ] 6
[ ] 9
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 47 - 58 + 19 = (40 + 20 - 50) + (7 - 8 - 1) = 10 - 2 = 8. Here '19' was replaced by '20 - 1' and the calculation was done using using this
10. 0 + 10 + 0 + 28 = ?
[ ] 48
[ ] 58
[ ] 0
[x] 38
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 0 + 10 + 0 + 28 = (10 + 20) + (8) = 30 + 8 = 38. Ignore zeros!
