 2.2 ADDITION OF REAL NUMBERS

On a Saturday morning, your parents give

you $15 for your allowance. You spend
$18.50 at the mall. Then you make $20
baby-sitting that night. Do you end the day
with more money than you started with? If
so, how much more?
 2.2 ADDITION OF REAL NUMBERS

Do you end the day with more money

than you started with? If so, how much
more? Yes, $16.50

20 + 15 = 35 35 – 18.50 = $16.50
 2.3 SUBTRACTION OF REAL NUMBERS

On Sunday, there were 14 inches of snow on the

ground. About 1.5 inches of the snow melted on
Monday, 2 inches melted on Tuesday, and 1.5 inches
melted on Wednesday. How much snow remained at
the end of the day on Wednesday? At the end of the
day on Thursday, there were 8.5 inches of snow on
the ground. How much snow melted on Thursday?
 2.3 SUBTRACTION OF REAL NUMBERS

How much snow remained at the end of the day on

Wednesday? 𝟏𝟒 − 𝟏. 𝟓 − 𝟐 − 𝟏. 𝟓 = 𝟗 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒏𝒐𝒘

At the end of the day on Thursday, there were 8.5

inches of snow on the ground. How much snow
melted on Thursday? 𝟗 − 𝟖. 𝟓 = 𝟎. 𝟓 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒏𝒐𝒘
