Question

This year Ms, Webster flew 145,000 miles on business. Last year, she flew 83,125 miles on business. How many more miles did Ms. Webster fly on business this year

Answer 1

Minus 83,125 - First you have to do 145,000 - 83,125 to do that you have to see if 0 can - 5, 2, and 1 which it can so if the 0's can't - 1,2,and 5 you have to borrow from the 5 the 5 turns into a 4 and the first 0 becomes a 9, second 9 and the last one is a 10. Now do 10-5, 9-2, and 9-1. Right now you should have 875. 4-3=1. Now you should have 1,875. 4 can't minus 8 so the 4 has to borrow from the one now the one is a 0 and the four is 14. 14-8= 6. Your answer should be 61,875

Answer 2

Ms.Webster flew 61,875 more miles this year than last year.
