Answer: 1,796
Explanation:
We are given that : At the chicken ranch this morning there were 7,149 chicks.
i.e. The number of new chicks before today = 7,149
Later today some more chicks hatched. now the ranch has 8,945 chicks.
i.e. The number of new chicks after today = 8,945
Then, By Subtraction operation
Number of new chicks hatched today = ( Number of new chicks after today) - (Number of new chicks before today )
= 8,945- 7,149 = 1,796
Therefore , the number of new chicks hatched today = 1,796
