Question

Arrange the following subtraction statements such that the highest value statement is on the top:

• A. $14-2$
• B. $12-12$
• C. $16-8$
• D. $20-10$

Answer 1

$14-2=12$

$12-12=0$

$16-8=8$
We cannot subtract 8 from 6, so we will have to borrow one rod from tens.


$20-10=10$
The correct order is: 12, 10, 8, 0
i.e. $14-2$, $20-10$, $16-8$, $12-12$
