I broke 15 into 10 and 5.
10 x 36 = 360 (Full circle)
5 x 36 = 180 (Half circle)
From watching the Olympics, I know a 1.5 rotation is called a 540, and 360 + 180 = 540
10 x 36 = 360 (Full circle)
5 x 36 = 180 (Half circle)

I added all the tens first to get 40. I was left with 3+5+7+9.
3+7= 10 (add that to my 10's group to now have 50)
5+9= 14 (another ten to get 60)
60 + 4 = 64
3+7= 10 (add that to my 10's group to now have 50)
5+9= 14 (another ten to get 60)
60 + 4 = 64

I made all the numbers 20. 20 x 5 = 100
Then, subtracted 4, 3, 2, and 1.
100 - 10 = 90
Then, subtracted 4, 3, 2, and 1.
100 - 10 = 90

A second way (not my preferred, but a different way to solve it.)

A second way (not my preferred, but a different way to solve it.)
First way I saw it was --
6+9 = 15
7+8 = 15
15+15 = 30
6+9 = 15
7+8 = 15
15+15 = 30

Three 7's is 21
Two 5's are 10
21 + 10 = 31
Two 5's are 10
21 + 10 = 31

Start by rearranging the problem into 3 smaller problems.
2x5=10
2x5=10
3x3=9
Use those products again
10x10= 100
10x9=900
2x5=10
2x5=10
3x3=9
Use those products again
10x10= 100

I divided the entire problem by 2 to get 500 ÷ 4.
I saw it as $5.00 ÷ 4. Each area gets 1 dollar, then each area gets 0.25¢.
1000 ÷ 8 = 125

If 6 stickers cost $4.50, how much do 2 stickers cost?
$4.50 ÷ 3 = $1.50
2 stickers cost $1.50, and we need 10 times that amount.
2 X 10 = 20
$1.50 X 10 = $15.00
$4.50 ÷ 3 = $1.50
2 stickers cost $1.50, and we need 10 times that amount.
2 X 10 = 20
$1.50 X 10 = $15.00

14/40 = 7/20
7/20 = 3.5/10

Like your subtraction post the other day. Change the numbers to make them easier.
89 + 17 becomes 90 + 16
90 + 10 = 100
100 + 6 = 106
89 + 17 = 106

Change the problem to 20 x 8. 20 x 8 = 160
I know I have 2 groups of 8 more than I need. 2 x 8 = 16
Subtract the extra. 160 - 16 = 144
