Q. Q.2: If we minus 712 from 1500 , how much do we get?A. 788B. 778C. 768
Identify numbers: Identify the numbers involved in the subtraction.We have two numbers: 1500 (minuend) and 712 (subtrahend). We need to subtract the subtrahend from the minuend.
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction.Subtract the units place: 0−2. Since we cannot subtract 2 from 0, we need to borrow from the tens place.
Borrow from tens: Borrow from the tens place.After borrowing, the units place of the minuend becomes 10 and the tens place becomes 9 (since we borrowed 1 from 10).Now subtract the units place: 10−2=8.
Subtract tens: Subtract the tens place.Subtract the tens place: 9−1=8 (since we borrowed 1 earlier, the tens place of 1500 is now 9).
Subtract hundreds: Subtract the hundreds place.Subtract the hundreds place: 4−7. Since we cannot subtract 7 from 4, we need to borrow from the thousands place.
Borrow from thousands: Borrow from the thousands place.After borrowing, the hundreds place of the minuend becomes 14 and the thousands place becomes 0 (since we borrowed 1 from 1).Now subtract the hundreds place: 14−7=7.
Subtract thousands: Subtract the thousands place.Subtract the thousands place: 0−0=0.
Combine final answer: Combine the results of the subtraction to get the final answer.The final answer is 788.
