Question

Identify the subtraction equation with the same numbers as those in the addition equation given below.
$6+4=10$

• A. $4+6=10$
• B. $10–4=6$
• C. $13–3=10$
• D. $6–4=2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $10–4=6$

Say: Let's read the question and observe the equation.
Ask:
$\bullet$ What do we have to do here?
Ans: We need to identify the related subtraction equation for the given addition equation.
$\bullet$ How do you find the total of two numbers?
Ans: By adding the two smaller numbers to get a bigger number.
$\bullet$ How do we find the difference between two numbers?
Ans: By subtracting the smaller number from the bigger number.
$\bullet$ Using the same three numbers 4, 6 and 10, what subtraction equations can be framed?
Ans: $10–6=4$ or $10–4=6$
$\bullet$ Which of these equations is used in the given options?
Ans: $10–4=6$

Hence, Option A is correct.

WB: If required, use the whiteboard to represent the bigger and smaller number as shown and write the related addition and subtraction equations.
