Okay, so today I messed around with some numbers, specifically 61 and 24. I’ve been trying to get a better handle on, like, how these numbers work together, you know? So, I started by just staring at them. Seriously, just looking at 61 and 24, side by side.
Then, I added them. Simple enough, right? 61 + 24 = 85. I wrote that down. Felt good.
Playing Around
Next, I wanted to see what happens if I subtract them. So, I did 61 – 24. Got 37. I wrote that down too. I’m starting to feel like a real mathematician here, even though it’s super basic.
- Added: 61 + 24 = 85
- Subtracted: 61 – 24 = 37
After that, I thought, “Let’s multiply these bad boys.” 61 24. This one I actually used a calculator for, because, let’s be honest, I’m not that good at math. The answer popped up: 1464. Boom. Another number to add to my list.
Then, because I was on a roll, I divided 61 by 24. Got a messy decimal: 2.541666… I just rounded it to 2.54. Good enough.
- Multiplied:6124=1464
- Divided:61/24=2.54
I spent a while playing around with different combinations. Like, what if I added the sum and the difference? 85 + 37 = 122. Or what if I multiplied the product and the quotient? I tried those too I was on a roll,Got a messy decimal.I just feel like a child today,I just try everything what I want.
Honestly, there wasn’t a huge “aha!” moment or anything. It was just a simple exercise to get more comfortable with numbers. And you know what? It actually worked. I feel a little bit less intimidated by numbers now. Maybe tomorrow I’ll tackle something bigger, like, I don’t know, three-digit numbers! Who knows?
