Question

Subtract. Then, in two or more complete sentences, explain how you found the difference. In your explanation, make sure to include any equivalent expressions you wrote, any rules you used, and the answer.

Answer 1

To subtract two numbers, write the larger number on top and the smaller number underneath. Subtract each place value from right to left, regrouping if necessary.

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract two numbers, we start by writing the larger number on top and the smaller number underneath. Then, we subtract each place value starting from the rightmost digit and regroup if necessary. For example, let's subtract 457 from 908:

908
- 457
______
451

In this example, we subtracted the units place, then the tens place, and finally the hundreds place. The difference is 451.
