Question

Choose the correct bar model based on the given statement.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\bullet$ Given statement: 47 – 5 = ?
$\bullet$ While forming a subtraction statement from an addition statement, we always subtract the known addend from the total sum.
$\bullet$ So, here the total sum is 47 and 5 will be one of the addends or parts in the bar model.
$\bullet$ Now, we will subtract 5 from 47 to find the missing addend.


$\bullet$ So, 47 – 5 = 42
$\bullet$ 42 will be the value of the other part in the bar model.
$\bullet$ Value of the parts: 42 and 5
$\bullet$ Value of the whole: 47
$\bullet$ The correct bar model for the given statement will be:
