f.
Answer:
Given numbers are 746 and 122
Adding the digits in units place first i.e. 6+2 = 8. As there is no carry we will proceed to tens place and then find the sum of them i.e. 4+2 = 6. Moving on to hundreds place we have the result as such
Question 2.
a.
Answer:
Given numbers are 193 and 86
Finding the sum of numbers we have the result as follows. Ones Place summation is 3+6 = 9 and hundreds place we have 9+8 = 17. Thus, we will move the carry ahead to hundreds place. Then adding the hundreds place we get 1+1 = 2. The final result is as below.
b.
Answer:
Given numbers are 183 and 192
Adding units digit we have 3+2 = 5

Subtract.
Question 5.
a.
Answer:
Given numbers are 172 and 35
First let us subtract the units or ones digit. 2 is less than 5 so we can’t subtract thus we will take borrow from tens place making it 12. So, 12-5 = 7. Applying the same concept to tens place and hundreds place digit we have the result as follows
b.
Answer:
Given numbers are 192 and 86
First let us subtract the units or ones digit. 2 is less than 6 so we can’t subtract thus we will take borrow from tens place making it 12. So, 12-6 = 6. Applying the same concept to tens place and hundreds place digit we have the result as follows
c.
Answer:
Given numbers are 174 and 96
Let us find the difference of units place. As 4 is less than 6 we need to take borrow from tens place thus making it 14. Thus we have 14 – 6 = 8. Proceeding further to tens and hundreds place we get the result as follows
d.
Answer:
Given numbers are 120 and 80
Let us find the difference of units place. Thus we have 0-0 = 0. Proceeding further to tens and hundreds place we get the result as follows
e.

Difference between 293 and 107 in each steps is explained below
Question 6.
a.
Answer:
Given numbers are 986 and 698
Units digit subtraction we have 6Â < 8. Taking borrow from tens place we get 16 – 8 = 8
In Tens Place we have after giving borrow 7. Since 7 < 9 Again taking borrow from hundreds place we have 17 i.e. 17 – 9 = 8
Hundreds Place Subtraction = 8-6 = 2
Thus, subtracting 698 from 986 we have the result as beneath
b.
Answer:
Given numbers are 862 and 245
Units digit subtraction we have 2Â < 5. Taking borrow from tens place we get 12 – 5 = 7
In Tens Place we have after giving borrow 5. i.e. 5 – 4 = 1
Hundreds Place Subtraction = 8-2 = 6
Thus, subtracting 245 from 862 we have the result as beneath
c.
Answer:
Given numbers are 352 and 121
Units digit subtraction we have 2-1= 1
In Tens Place we have after giving borrow 5. i.e. 5 – 2= 3

Question 9.
For a game of checkers, 24 checkers are needed. There are only 18 checkers in the box. How many checkers are missing?
There are ___________ checkers missing.
Answer:
Number of checkers needed for game = 24
Number of checkers in box = 18
Number of checkers missing = number of checkers needed for game – number of checkers in box
= 24-18
= 6
Therefore, 6 checkers are needed.
Question 10.
An adult has 32 teeth. A child has 24 teeth. How many more teeth does an adult have?
An adult has __________ more teeth than a child.
Answer:
No. of teeth adult have = 32
No. of Child teeth have = 24
Number of teeth adult have more than a child = 32- 24
= 8
Therefore, number of teeth adult have more than a child is 8.
Question 11.
Sam weighed 232 pounds. He lost 13 pounds. How much does Sam weigh now?
Sam weighs ____ pounds.
Answer:
Sam Weighs = 232 Pounds

= 1223
Total Pennies Alvin and Regina have together in total is 1223
Question 13.
Mr. Ito is 53 years old. His daughter, Kimi, is 25. How much older is Mr. Ito than his daughter? Mr. Ito is ____ years older than his daughter.
Answer:
Age of Mr. Ito = 53
Age of his daughter Kimi = 25
Number of Years Mr. Ito is older than this daughter = Age of Mr. Ito – Age of His Daughter
= 53- 25
= 28
Mr. Ito is 28 years older than this daughter.
Question 14.
Mr. and Mrs. Acosta have been married for ‘47 years. Mrs. Acosta was 29 when she married Mr. Acosta. How old is Mrs. Acosta now?
Mrs. Acosta is ____ years old.
Answer:
Number of years Mr. and Mrs. Acosta are married = 47 years
Age of Mrs. Acosta when she is married = 29
Number of years Mrs. Acosta has = Age when she is married + No. of years of their Marriage
= 29+47
= 76
Therefore, Age of Mrs. Acosta is 76
