Question

There were 7259 birds in a bird sanctuary.
2486 birds migrated to a colder place during summer.
Find the number of birds left in the sanctuary.

Answer 1

Number of birds in the sanctuary = 7259

Number of birds that migrated = 2486

Number of birds left
= Total number of birds – Number of birds that migrated

= 7259 – 2486

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 total number of birds left is 4773.
