Sample questions (in Chinese)

Question 1計算。

47 + 395 =

Answer and explanation

答案:47 + 395 = 442

為甚麼?個位:7 + 5 = 12,寫 2,向十位進 1;十位:4 + 9 + 1 = 14,寫 4,向百位進 1;百位:0 + 3 + 1 = 4。所以 47 + 395 = 442。

Question 2用直式計算。

34671+

346 + 71 =

Answer and explanation

答案:346 + 71 = 417

為甚麼?直式要對位,由個位開始加。個位:6 + 1 = 7;十位:4 + 7 = 11,寫 1,向百位進 1;百位:3 + 0 + 1 = 4。所以 346 + 71 = 417。

Question 3計算。

64 − 48 =

Answer and explanation

答案:64 − 48 = 16

為甚麼?個位:4 不夠減 8,向十位借 1,14 − 8 = 6;十位:6 借了 1 給個位,剩 5;5 − 4 = 1。所以 64 − 48 = 16。

Question 4由左至右計算。

52 − 13 − 9 =

Answer and explanation

答案:52 − 13 − 9 = 30

為甚麼?三個數相減,要由左至右計算:52 − 13 = 39,39 − 9 = 30。
