    Subtract 3,662 − 758; show any place-value exchange.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 2904

    Exchange a larger unit into 10 smaller units when needed. Preserve the total and subtract. Difference = 2,904; add 758 to check.

  5. A5

    Subtract 1,012 − 818; show any place-value exchange.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 194

    Exchange a larger unit into 10 smaller units when needed. Preserve the total and subtract. Difference = 194; add 818 to check.

  6. A6

    Subtract 1,172 − 888; show any place-value exchange.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 284

    Exchange a larger unit into 10 smaller units when needed. Preserve the total and subtract. Difference = 284; add 888 to check.

  7. A7

    Calculate 1,000 − 777; explain how you cross the zero places.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 223

    Rename a nonzero higher-place unit to supply ten of the next smaller units; continue exchanging across zeros. 1,000 − 777 = 223.

  8. A8

    Calculate 2,020 − 850; explain how you cross the zero places.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 1170

    Rename a nonzero higher-place unit to supply ten of the next smaller units; continue exchanging across zeros. 2,020 − 850 = 1,170.

  9. A9

    Calculate 3,040 − 343; explain how you cross the zero places.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 2697

    Rename a nonzero higher-place unit to supply ten of the next smaller units; continue exchanging across zeros. 3,040 − 343 = 2,697.

  10. A10

    Estimate 7,303 + 1,191 by rounding BOTH numbers to the nearest 10.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 8,490

    Round 7,303 to 7,300 and 1,191 to 1,190. Estimate 7,300 + 1,190 = 8,490; it need not equal the exact answer.

  11. A11

    Estimate 7,634 + 1,382 by rounding BOTH numbers to the nearest 100.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 9,000

    Round 7,634 to 7,600 and 1,382 to 1,400. Estimate 7,600 + 1,400 = 9,000; it need not equal the exact answer.

  12. A12

    Estimate 1,065 + 1,573 by rounding BOTH numbers to the nearest 10.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 2,640

    Round 1,065 to 1,070 and 1,573 to 1,570. Estimate 1,070 + 1,570 = 2,640; it need not equal the exact answer.

  13. A13

    Estimate 7,023 − 1,611 by rounding BOTH numbers to the nearest 10.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 5,410

    Round 7,023 to 7,020 and 1,611 to 1,610. Estimate 7,020 − 1,610 = 5,410; it need not equal the exact answer.

  14. A14

    Estimate 7,354 − 1,802 by rounding BOTH numbers to the nearest 100.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 5,600

    Round 7,354 to 7,400 and 1,802 to 1,800. Estimate 7,400 − 1,800 = 5,600; it need not equal the exact answer.

  15. A15

    Estimate 7,685 − 293 by rounding BOTH numbers to the nearest 10.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 7,400

    Round 7,685 to 7,690 and 293 to 290. Estimate 7,690 − 290 = 7,400; it need not equal the exact answer.

  16. A16

    A museum had 2,984 tickets and sold 1,035. How many tickets remain?

    Show answer and reasoning
