Exercise #1

If we have 85 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 4 tens and 1 one?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we begin by calculating the total number of blocks to remove.

Step 1: Calculate the blocks in 4 tens.

  • A "ten" refers to 10 blocks. Thus, 4 tens equal 4×10=40 4 \times 10 = 40 blocks.

Step 2: Calculate the total blocks to remove by combining tens and ones.

  • We are also removing 1 more block, so the total becomes 40+1=41 40 + 1 = 41 blocks.

Step 3: Subtract the total removed blocks from the initial total to determine how many blocks remain.

  • 8541=44 85 - 41 = 44 .

Therefore, the number of blocks remaining is 44 44 .

Answer

44 44

Exercise #2

What number do you get if you subtract thirty units from the number 85?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll perform basic subtraction.

  • Step 1: Identify the minuend and subtrahend.

  • The minuend (the number from which we are subtracting) is 85.

  • The subtrahend (the number to be subtracted) is 30.

  • Step 2: Apply the subtraction formula 8530 85 - 30 .

  • Step 3: Calculate the difference.

  • Subtract 30 from 85 as follows:
    8530=55 85 - 30 = 55

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 55 55 .

Answer

55 55

Exercise #3

What number do you get if you subtract sixty units from the number 92?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the given information, which is the number 92 and the amount to subtract, 60.
  • Step 2: Perform the subtraction operation: 9260 92 - 60 .

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: We know we need to subtract 60 from 92. This can be expressed mathematically as 9260 92 - 60 .

Step 2: Perform the subtraction:

9260=32 92 - 60 = 32

We find that subtracting 60 from 92 yields 32.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 32 32 .

Answer

32 32

Exercise #4

If we have 46 blocks in total and we remove 2 tens, how many blocks will remain?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll proceed through the following steps:

  • Step 1: Identify how many blocks are represented by "2 tens".
  • Step 2: Subtract the number of removed blocks from the total number of blocks given.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: "2 tens" equates to 2×10=20 2 \times 10 = 20 blocks.
Step 2: We are removing 20 blocks from the total of 46 blocks. Using subtraction, we have:

4620=26 46 - 20 = 26

Therefore, after removing 2 tens (which is 20 blocks), the number of blocks that remain is 26 26 .

Answer

26 26

Exercise #5

Subtract three units from the number 73. What is the result?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this simple subtraction problem, let's follow the steps:
Step 1: Identify the numbers involved, which are 7373 and 33.
Step 2: Apply the operation of subtraction to these numbers. The problem asks us to subtract 33 from 7373, resulting in the mathematical operation 73373 - 3.
Step 3: Calculate the result of the subtraction: 733=7073 - 3 = 70.

Therefore, the result of subtracting three units from the number 73 is 7070.

Answer

70 70

Exercise #6

If we have 55 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 5 tens and 4 ones?

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine how many blocks remain, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate how many blocks 5 tens represent: 5×10=50 5 \times 10 = 50 .
  • Step 2: Add the 4 individual blocks being removed: 50+4=54 50 + 4 = 54 .
  • Step 3: Subtract the total removed blocks from the original number of blocks: 5554=1 55 - 54 = 1 .

After performing these calculations, we find that the number of blocks remaining is 1 1 .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 1 1 .

Answer

1 1

Exercise #7

What number will we get if we subtract 2 tens and 5 units from the number 36.

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we begin by determining what needs to be subtracted from the number 36. We have "2 tens" and "5 units" to subtract:

  • 2 tens is equal to 20 because one ten is equal to 10.
  • 5 units are simply the number 5 added directly.

Therefore, the total amount to subtract is 20+5=25 20 + 5 = 25 .

Next, we perform the subtraction operation:

Starting with the number 36, subtract 25:

  • 3625=11 36 - 25 = 11

After performing the subtraction, we conclude that the final result is:

11 11 .

Answer

11 11

Exercise #8

If we have 67 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 5 tens and 4 ones?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's consider the following steps:

  • Step 1: Understand the removal of blocks. We are removing 5 tens and 4 ones. One "ten" equals 10 units, so 5 tens equal 5×10=50 5 \times 10 = 50 units.
  • Step 2: Calculate the total number of blocks to be removed. We have 50 (from tens) + 4 (ones) = 54 units to be removed.
  • Step 3: Perform the subtraction from the total number of blocks. The total number of blocks is 67. Therefore, we calculate 6754=13 67 - 54 = 13 .

After performing the above calculations, we confirm that the number of blocks remaining is 13 13 .

Answer

13 13

Exercise #9

If we have 79 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 2 tens and 3 ones?

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the problem step by step:

We begin with a total of 79 79 blocks.

First, we need to determine how many blocks are removed:

  • Two tens, which equals 2×10=20 2 \times 10 = 20 blocks.
  • Three ones, equaling 3 3 blocks.

Add the blocks removed together: 20+3=23 20 + 3 = 23 blocks removed in total.

Now, subtract the total blocks removed from the starting total:

Total remaining=7923=56\text{Total remaining} = 79 - 23 = 56

Therefore, the number of blocks remaining is 56 56 .

Answer

56 56
