Using Compensation method, we add 3 each to both numbers and our new subtraction is; 445 - 200.
How to use compensation in addition and subtraction?
Compensation is a way of adding or taking away numbers that you find easier. You add or take away a bit too much or a bit too little, so then you have to add or take away this too.
The equal additions method is a compensation used when doing subtractions. For example;
Subtract 39 from 57.
To make this subtraction appear as 58 - 40, we have added 1 to 57 and 39 each so that we still have the same subtraction problem.
Now, for 442 - 197, what we can do to make it simpler is to find a way to make 197 to be 200. Thus, we add 3 each to both numbers and our new subtraction is; 445 - 200.
