Question 1.
Find 4 + 5; 2 + 6; 3 + 5 and 1 + 6 using the number line.
Solution:
(i) 4 + 5

Let us start from 4. Since, we have to add 5 to this number, we make 5 jumps to the right.
Each jump being equal to 1 unit. After five jumps we reach at 9 (as shown above).
4 + 5 = 9

(ii) 2 + 6

Let us start from 2. Since, we have to add 6 to this number, we make 6 equal jumps, each
jump being equal to 1 unit, to the right and reach to 8.
2 + 6 = 8

(iii) 3 + 5

We have to add 5 to 3.
We start from 3. We make 5 equal jumps. Each jump being equal to 1 unit (as shown
in the figure) to the right and reach to 8.
3 + 5 = 8

(iv) 1 + 6

As we have to add 6 to 1, therefore, we start from 1 and make 6 equal jumps to the right.
Each jump being equal to 1 unit.
We reach to 7.
1 + 6 = 7

Question 1.
Find 8 – 3; 6 – 2; 9 – 6 using the number line.
Solution:
(i) 8 – 3

To subtract 3 from 8, start from 8 and make 3 equal jumps towards left. Each jump being
equal to 1 unit.
So, we reach at 5, 8 – 3 = 5.

(ii) 6 – 2

To subtract 2 from 6, we start from 6. Make 2 equal jumps towards left. Each jump being
equal to 1 unit.
So, we reach at 4, 6 – 2 = 4

(iii) 9 – 6

To subtract 6 from 9, we start from 9 and make 6 equal jumps towards left. Each jump
being equal to 1 unit.
So, we reach at 3, 9 – 6 = 3
