Question

Observe the model and identify the missing number in the given subtraction equation.
Equation:
36-_____=22

• A. $4$
• B. $10$
• C. $22$
• D. $14$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $14$

Detailed step-by-step solution:
On the number line, we can see that there are two backward jumps of 10 from 36, and then 4 from 26.

36 – 10 = 26
26 – 4 = 22

If we add 10 and 4 we get 14.

So, we can say that 36 – 14 = 22.

Therefore, 14 is the missing number in the subtraction equation.

Hence, Option C is correct.
