How to subtract a larger number from a smaller number

The video tutorial explains the process of subtraction, emphasizing the need to subtract larger numbers from smaller ones to avoid negative results. It covers the concept of absolute difference and demonstrates how to rewrite subtraction problems for clarity. The tutorial also explains the borrowing process in subtraction, ensuring students understand how to handle borrowing across digits to achieve accurate results.

Why is it important to subtract the larger number from the smaller one in subtraction?

• To avoid negative results

• To make calculations easier

• To apply the correct algorithm

What happens to the result when you subtract a larger number from a smaller one?

• The result is zero

• The result is negative

• The result is always positive

• The result is undefined

What is the absolute difference between two numbers?

• The negative difference between the two numbers

• The positive difference between the two numbers

• The product of the two numbers

• The sum of the two numbers

In subtraction, what should you do if a digit in the minuend is smaller than the corresponding digit in the subtrahend?

• Subtract the smaller digit from the larger one

• Borrow from the next higher place value

• Add 10 to the smaller digit

• Ignore the smaller digit

What is the final result of subtracting 87 from 192 after borrowing?

• 105

• 85
