Question

An old dictionary with 10,546 pages is revised to 8,356 pages. How many pages are reduced in the revised version?

• A. 1,990
• B. 1,190
• C. 1,900
• D. 1,990

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1,190

Total number of pages before changes = 10,546

Total number of pages after changes = 8,356

Reduced pages = Total number of pages before changes – Number of pages after changes

= 10,546 – 8,356

Let's subtract the numbers using vertical subtraction.

Vertical subtraction is a method of subtracting where the numbers are lined up in columns according to their place values.

Therefore, the number of reduced pages in the revised version is 1,190.
