How do you subtract across zeros in a multi-digit number?

Back

When subtracting across zeros, you may need to borrow from the next non-zero digit to the left. This involves reducing the next digit by one and adding 10 to the current digit to perform the subtraction.

Front

What is the result of a subtraction operation called?

Back

The result of a subtraction operation is called the difference.

Front

How do you check your subtraction answer?

Back

To check a subtraction answer, you can add the difference to the subtrahend. If the sum equals the minuend, the subtraction is correct.

Front

What is borrowing in subtraction?

Back

Borrowing in subtraction is a technique used when the digit in the minuend is smaller than the digit in the subtrahend. You 'borrow' from the next left digit to make the subtraction possible.

Front

What is the importance of place value in subtraction?

Back

Place value is crucial in subtraction as it determines the value of each digit in a number. Understanding place value helps in correctly aligning numbers and performing operations.

Front

How do you handle subtraction when the minuend has zeros?

Back

When the minuend has zeros, you may need to borrow from the next non-zero digit to the left to perform the subtraction.
