Question

Look at the incomplete multiplication problem below.

497 times 32 = 994. 994 + question mark = blank

What value is missing?
1,419
2,485
14,910
15,904

Answer 1

To find the missing value, we first need to complete the multiplication of 497 times 32.

Calculating \( 497 \times 32 \):

\[
497 \times 32 = 15,904
\]

Now, we can rewrite the equation based on the problem statement:

\[
994 + \text{question mark} = 15,904
\]

To find the question mark, we can rearrange the equation:

\[
\text{question mark} = 15,904 - 994
\]

Now, we subtract \( 994 \) from \( 15,904 \):

\[
15,904 - 994 = 14,910
\]

Therefore, the missing value is \( 14,910 \).

The answer is:

**14,910**
