A student says the Hundred Years War lasted from 1337 to 1453. How long was that?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 116 years
- Step 1: Subtract: 1453 - 1337 = 116. Step 2. The name is only a round number. Answer: 116 years. Why not the others: 100 is the name, and 106 and 126 miscalculate.
