hapter 1: Whole Numbers 0 ¥@GO@qQ, 2 Subtraction of Whole hoa a Numbers At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to: * Visualize the concept of subtraction; 3 ¢ Relate subtraction with addition; : ¢ Subtract one to three-digit numbers; and 3 . Solve word problems involving subtraction; 2 Did You Know? The saltwater crocodile _(Crocodylus porosus), is the largest of -all-living’ reptiles. It is found in suitable habitats from Northern Australia through - Southeast Asia to the eastern coast of India. An adult male saltwater crocodile’s weight is 409 to 1 000 kilograms and } s length is normally 4.1 to 5.5 meters. E @ J . 82, Let's Discuss Subtraction is another operation we need to learn as it is very useful in daily life. Subtraction is the process of taking away one number from another. For instance, if an older saltwater crocodile has a length of 6 meters while the younger has a length of 4 meters, then what is the difference in their lengths? To find the difference, we subtract 4 from 6. Let us represent this situation using an illustration. Chapter 1: Whole Numbers, Lesson 3: Subtraction of Whole Numbers 11 Scanned with CamScanner difference a Ea shea younger The illustration shows that the differen ce between 6 and 4 is 2. It means that 6 - 4 = 2. Another way to show this is by using the inverse operation of subtraction which is addition. That is 4 + __ = 6. So what should be added to 4 to get a sum of 6? This shows that subtraction is like finding the missing addend. In 6 - 4 = 2, 6 is called minuend. It is the number being subtracted from, The number 4 is called the subtrahend or the number used to subtract. Then, 2 is called difference or remainder, which is the answer in subtraction. Subtraction is the inverse operation of addition. It means that 6 ~ 4 = 2 may be translated into an addition sentence which is: Subtraction Sentence Addition Sentence 6-4=2 2+4=6 or 4+2=6 Subtraction of Two- to Three-Digit Numbers Let us learn how to subtract two-digit numbers by solving the following word problems. Problem 1: James has P79. He bought a piece of sandwich at P25. How much money does he have left? . To solve the problem, we subtract 25 from 79. To subtract two-digit numbers, we may use the following steps: Step 1: Arrange the numbers so that digits of the same place value fall on the same column.

Of these, 157 are foreign and the est are Philippine made. How many of her keychains are Philippine made? To find the answer, subtract 157 from 342. Arrange the numbers in column.

Observe that 2 ones of the minuend is less than 7 ones of the subtrahend. In this case, rename 4 tens of the minuend as 3 tens and 10 ones, then regroup the 10 ones with 2 ones to make 12 ones. Now subtract 7 from 12. Hundreds Tens Ones Place Place —Place 3 12 3 & z ag 5 7 Se? Subtract the tens. Since 3 tens of the minuend is again smaller than 5 tens of the subtrahend, then rename 3 hundreds of the minuend as 2 hundreds and 10 tens, then regroup 10 tens with 3 tens to make 13 tens. Subtract the tens digits. Hundreds Tens Ones Place Place Place 2 13 12 Zz 4 z ree 5 7 1 8 5 Subtract the hundreds digits. Therefore, Enya has 185 Philippine-made keychains.
