Additive Comparison Vs Multiplicative Comparison

What is Additive Comparison?

In an additive comparison, we find the relation between two amounts by request or telling how much more (or less) is 1 compared to the other.

Problems for condiment comparison are generally word issues, and they can exist solved by forming an equation.

An condiment comparison problem is a problem in which:

• Two verbal statements are used to compare two sets of items, and
• Farther, an condiment equation is adamant.
• The equation includes numbers and the alphabet, in which the alphabet is the variable.

An example of an condiment comparison problem using the equation is given.

Aaron takes 16 minutes to reach school from his dwelling house. Ryan takes v more minutes than Aaron and Sheryl take 3 more minutes than Ryan. How much fourth dimension does Sheryl take to reach school?

Permit the time taken by Sheryl to reach school be 't'

Time is taken by Aaron to reach school = 16 minutes

Fourth dimension taken by Ryan is 5 minutes more than Aaron = xvi + v = 21 minutes

Fourth dimension taken past Sheryl = t = 21 + three = 24 minutes

Therefore, Sheryl takes 24 minutes to reach school.

Additive comparing bug unremarkably use words similar:

• More ( three more than 50 miles)
• Less (5 less than 12 liters)

Here are examples of how condiment comparison word problems can exist solved using comparing bar models.

Example 1: Kate has vii stamps. Sara has 5 more. How many stamps does Sara have?

Stamps with Kate = seven

Stamps with Sara = vii + v = 12 Therefore, Sara has 12 stamps

Instance 2: Jack scored 22 points in a game. Jim scored half-dozen less points than Jack. How many points did Jim score?

Points scored by Jack = 22

Points scored past Jim = six less than Jack

                              = 22 – 6

                              = xvi Therefore, Jim scored sixteen points.

Fun Facts
1. Bar models help us to empathise what operations, whether add-on, subtraction, multiplication, or/and division should be used to solve a word problem.
2. The other type of comparison problem is the multiplicative comparison problem.
