Mixed Operations
1. **Work out 487.52 - 86.74 - 52.81**
Start with the first subtraction:
$$487.52 - 86.74 = 400.78$$
Then subtract 52.81:
$$400.78 - 52.81 = 347.97$$
So, the answer is **347.97**.
2. **How many miles did the pilot fly in total?**
Add all the distances:
$$5642 + 4081 + 10506 + 5579 = 25708$$
The pilot flew a total of **25708 miles**.
3. **Use the digits 3, 5, 7, 8 to fill in the missing digits on the number line:**
Given numbers:
- First number: □.7□
- Second number: □.□0
The numbers must lie between 7 and 9.
Try possible combinations:
- First number: 7.38 (using digits 3 and 8)
- Second number: 8.50 (using digits 5 and 0)
Both numbers are between 7 and 9 and use all digits 3,5,7,8 exactly once.
So, the two completed numbers are **7.38** and **8.50**.
4. **Find digits A, B, and C in the addition problem:**
Given:
\begin{align*}
15.73 \\
+ 32.4A \\
+ C.16 \\
\hline
48.B4
\end{align*}
Add the numbers column-wise from right to left:
- Hundredths place: 3 + A + 6 = 4 (units digit) + carry
Since 3 + A + 6 = 9 + A, to end with 4, 9 + A must be 14, so A = 5 and carry 1.
- Tenths place: 7 + 4 + 1 (carry) + 1 (from C.16) = B + 10 * carry
7 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 13, so B = 3 and carry 1.
- Units place: 5 + 2 + C + 1 (carry) = 8 + 10 * carry
5 + 2 + C + 1 = 8 + 10 * carry
8 + C = 8 + 10 * carry
So, C = 0 and carry 0.
Therefore, A = 5, B = 3, C = 0.
5. **Add 387 to 115, then subtract 141:**
First add:
$$387 + 115 = 502$$
Then subtract:
$$502 - 141 = 361$$
The final answer is **361**.
