Subtract 135 from 248: Vertical Format Arithmetic Problem

To solve this subtraction problem, we will use the vertical subtraction method as follows:

Step 1: Align the numbers vertically.
We write 248 over 135, ensuring that corresponding digits are aligned correctly, particularly the units, tens, and hundreds places.

\begin{array}{c} 248 \\ - 135 \\ \hline \end{array}

Step 2: Subtract column by column from right to left.

• Units column: $8 - 5 = 3$. Write 3 under the units column.

• Tens column: $4 - 3 = 1$. Write 1 under the tens column.

• Hundreds column: $2 - 1 = 1$. Write 1 under the hundreds column.

The subtraction does not require any borrowing as each digit in the minuend is greater than or equal to the corresponding digit in the subtrahend.

Step 3: Combine the results.
From left to right, the result is 113.

Therefore, the solution to the subtraction problem is $113$, which corresponds to choice 4.
