Sure! What would you like me to explain or write about in 3rd grade words?

Explain how to use compensation to find the difference of 30,000 and 6,985.

Okay! To use compensation to find the difference between 30,000 and 6,985, follow these easy steps:

  1. Start with the bigger number: We have 30,000.
  2. Make the smaller number easier: Instead of 6,985, we can round it to 7,000. This makes it easier to subtract.
  3. Now subtract: Take 30,000 and subtract 7,000. So, 30,000 - 7,000 = 23,000.
  4. Adjust for rounding: Since we rounded 6,985 up to 7,000, we need to take away what we added. We added 15 (because 7,000 - 6,985 = 15).
  5. Final subtraction: Now, we take our answer of 23,000 and subtract 15. So, 23,000 - 15 = 22,985.

So, the difference between 30,000 and 6,985 is 22,985!
