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

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.

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:

6-4=2 2+4=6

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.
Tens Ones

Therefore, 79 - 25 = 54 or James had P54 left.
Problem 2:
Enya has a collection of 342 keychains. 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.

Step 4:
Subtract the digits in the ones place.
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.

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.
