Subtraction Worksheets for Grade 3 Explanations
Q.1) Explanation –
Subtracting the digits at ones place
5 – 2 = 3
Subtracting the digits at tens place
3 – 1 = 2
Subtracting the digits at hundreds place
4 – 2 = 2
Hence, the difference is 223
Correct Answer – a) 223
Q.2) Explanation –
Subtracting the digits at ones place
8 – 4 = 4
Subtracting the digits at tens place
5 – 3 = 2
Subtracting the digits at hundreds place
5 – 5 = 0
Subtracting the digits at thousands place
9 – 2 = 7
Hence, the difference is 7024
Correct Answer – b) 7024
Q.3) Explanation –
Subtracting the digits at ones place
3 – 2 = 1
If we want to Subtract the digits at tens place, we have
2 – 8
But 8 is greater than 2
We would need to borrow 1 from 6 in hundreds place
2 in tens place would now become 12 and 6 in hundreds place would be reduced to 5
So, 12 – 8 = 4
Subtracting the digits at hundreds place
5 – 3 = 2
Hence, the difference is 241
Correct Answer – b) 241
Q.4) Explanation –
Subtracting the digits at ones place
8 – 8 = 0
If we want to Subtract the digits at tens place, we have
5 – 8
But 8 is greater than 5
We would need to borrow 1 from 7 in hundred place
5 in ones place would now become 15 and 7 in hundred place would be reduced to 6
So, 15 – 8 = 7
If we want to Subtract the digits at hundred place, we have
6 – 9
But 9 is greater than 6
We would need to borrow 1 from 5 in thousand place
6 in hundred place would now become 16 and 5 in thousand place would be reduced to 4
So, 16 – 9 = 7
Subtracting the digits at thousands place
4 – 3 = 1
Hence, the difference is 1770
Correct Answer – b) 1770
