Q11: How many times should number 9 be subtracted from 90 to get 0?(a) 10
(b) 9
(c) 8
(d) 7
View AnswerAns: (a)
According to question:
90 - 9 = 81 (1 time)
81 - 9 = 72 (2 times)
72 - 9 = 63 (3 times)
63 - 9 = 54 (4 times)
54 - 9 = 45 (5 times)
45 - 9 = 36 (6 times)
36 - 9 = 27 (7 times)
27 - 9 = 18 (8 times)
18 - 9 = 9 (9 times)
9 - 9 = 0 (0 times)
Hence, the answer is 10.
