minus-squareRBWells@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up28·1 day agoI am an accountant, literally work all day with numbers. 8+7, fine, that’s 16 minus one or 14 plus one. 8x7? Never managed to memorize the times tables so that is, well 4 7s is 14 +14, that’s 28, so 8 7s is 28 + 28, which is 40 and 16 so that’s 56.
minus-squareMeThisGuy@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·22 hours agointeresting how mathes works differently for many people. because I do 8+2 to get 10. then 7-2=5, so 10+5 = 15.
minus-squareThunderQueen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-219 hours agoNeat. I just remember that 8 is 2 less than 10 and 7 is 3 less than ten, so you can either do 8-3+10 or 7-2+10. Both are 15. Its similar to how you do it but for some reason its easier for me this way.
