Show how to make a ten to find 12-4. write the number sentence

Making a ten is an arithmetic evaluation strategy where students first find a way to obtain 10 from an expression before proceeding to the remainder.

Given the expression :

12 - 4

Make a ten from 12 :

12 = 10 + 2 (10 remainder 2)

Using subtracting 4 from 10 :

10 - 4 = 6

Adding the remainder (2) to the value obtained :.

6 + 2 = 8

Therefore, the direct procedure also gives the same solution ; 12 - 4 = 8.

Making tens is an strategy to help student to subtract using this number.

So, we could subtract 12-2 = 10. Now, to fins 12-4, we have to also find the way to transform the ten into 8, because 12-4=8. So, basically, by subtracting 2 units one more time we can get the 8 or 12-4; 10-2=8, and 12-4=8, therefore 10-2=12-4, which is true because 8=8.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
