Verified Answer :

Mental math means calculating the given numbers
without using anything that can help you solve the problem like paper and pen,
calculator, etc.

Now let’s have 81-16

=> 81 -16

=> 65


Now, let’s check if our answer is correct by adding the answer or the
difference by the subtrahend.

By the way in subtraction

81 => minuend

16 => subtrahend

65 => difference


=> 65 + 16

=> 81


Our answer is correct. Hope this help.




we have

\((81-16)\)

One way to use mental math is to add \(4\) to both \(81\) and \(16\)

so

\(81+4=85\\ 16+4=20\\ 85-20=65\)

therefore

\(81-16=65\)

the answer is

\(65\)
