Find the result of the following:
96 subtract 63 equals what.
In this question, we’re subtracting
a two-digit number from a two-digit number. We can use place value equipment to
help us model the number 96 because this is the number we’re subtracting from. The number 96 can be modeled using
nine 10s and six ones. Now that we’ve modeled the number
we’re subtracting from, our next step is to subtract the ones.
We have six ones, and we need to
subtract three. One, two, three. Six take away three leaves us with
three ones. Our next step is to subtract the
tens. 96 has nine 10s, and we need to
subtract six. Nine 10s subtract six 10s leaves us
with three 10s. 96 subtract 63 equals 33.
We used our knowledge of place
value to help. First, we modeled the number we
were subtracting from. We subtracted the ones first and
then the tens. 96 subtract 63 equals 33.
