Examples with solutions for Subtraction: Identify the greater value

Exercise #1

Choose the correct sign:

40+1477 40+1\Box47-7

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to evaluate each of the given expressions and compare the resulting values.

Step 1: Calculate 40+140 + 1.

  • 40+1=4140 + 1 = 41

Step 2: Calculate 47747 - 7.

  • 477=4047 - 7 = 40

Step 3: Compare the results from the calculations in Step 1 and Step 2.

We have 4141 from the first expression and 4040 from the second expression. Clearly, 41>4041 > 40.

Thus, when comparing 40+140 + 1 to 47747 - 7, we have:

40+1>47740 + 1 > 47 - 7

Therefore, the correct choice is > > .

Exercise #4

Choose the correct sign:

5+52010 5+5\Box20-10

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to evaluate both sides of the expression 5+52010 5 + 5 \Box 20 - 10 to find the appropriate sign (= = , < < , > > ).

  • Step 1: Calculate the left side of the expression:
    5+5=10 5 + 5 = 10
  • Step 2: Calculate the right side of the expression:
    2010=10 20 - 10 = 10
  • Step 3: Compare the results:
    The left side equals 10 10 and the right side also equals 10 10 .
  • Step 4: Determine the correct sign:
    Since 10=10 10 = 10 , the appropriate sign to use is = = .

Thus, the correct sign that completes the expression 5+52010 5 + 5\Box20 - 10 is = = .

Exercise #5

Choose the correct sign:

982018+60 98-20\Box18+60

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to determine which operator between = = , < < , or > > makes the mathematical expression 982018+60 98 - 20 \Box 18 + 60 valid. Let's perform each step carefully.

First, we'll compute both sides of the expression:

  • Calculate the left expression: 9820=78 98 - 20 = 78 .
  • Calculate the right expression: 18+60=78 18 + 60 = 78 .

Now, let's compare the results. We have 78 78 on the left and 78 78 on the right:

Since 78=78 78 = 78 , the correct operator to use is = = .

Therefore, the expression is correctly written as:

9820=18+60 98 - 20 = 18 + 60

Thus, the correct sign is = = .

Exercise #6

Fill in the missing sign:

3969461 39-6\Box94-61

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Perform the subtraction 39639 - 6.
  • Step 2: Perform the subtraction 946194 - 61.
  • Step 3: Compare the results of the two subtractions.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Calculate 39639 - 6:
396=3339 - 6 = 33.

Step 2: Calculate 946194 - 61:
9461=3394 - 61 = 33.

Step 3: Compare the two results:
Since both subtractions result in 33, the correct relational sign to put in the missing box is ==.

Therefore, the expression should be:

396=946139 - 6 = 94 - 61.

Thus, the solution to the problem is the missing sign is ==.

Exercise #7

Select the compatible sign:

63518842 63-51\Box88-42

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Step 1: Calculate 6351 63 - 51 .
  • Step 2: Calculate 8842 88 - 42 .
  • Step 3: Compare the two results and choose the correct sign.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Calculate 6351 63 - 51 .
6351=12 63 - 51 = 12 .

Step 2: Calculate 8842 88 - 42 .
8842=46 88 - 42 = 46 .

Step 3: Compare the results of Step 1 and Step 2.
We have 12 12 and 46 46 .

Since 12 12 is less than 46 46 , we use the sign < < to complete the inequality.

Therefore, the correct inequality is 6351<8842 63 - 51 < 88 - 42 .

The solution, therefore, is < < .

Answer

Exercise #8

Fill in the correct sign:

30+46330 30+4\Box63-30

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:

  • Simplify each side of the expression separately.
  • Compare the resulting values to determine the correct inequality sign.

Step 1: Simplify the left side of the expression.
Calculate 30+4 30 + 4 , which equals 34 34 .

Step 2: Simplify the right side of the expression.
Calculate 6330 63 - 30 , which gives us 33 33 .

Step 3: Compare the simplified results.
We have 34 34 on the left side and 33 33 on the right side. Clearly, 34 34 is greater than 33 33 .

Thus, the correct inequality sign to substitute for the box is > > .
