2) Addition, Subtraction and Multiplication on Number Line
Suppose you have a number line begining from, 0.
a) Addition of whole number 2 and 3 give 2+3 = 5 so do we get 5 on number line let's see
2 3
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<---|-----|-----|-----|----|----|-----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|-----|-----|----------------------------------------->
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
In number line you begin calculation from 0. In subtraction 7-5 = 2 you start with 0 go to 7 and then reverse 5 from 7 you get 2 as answer on number line.
So this is the uniqueness of number line. That number line calculations begin with 0. In Multiplication same is the concept
4 x3 is 0 to 4 you jump 3 times and we get 12 number on number line. That is the answer.
