Write a subtraction problem involving regrouping that has Ted reading 304 pages.answer yourquestion.
To create a subtraction problem involving regrouping, we can imagine a situation where Ted originally had a larger number of pages to read, but he managed to finish 304 pages. Let's say he initially had 500 pages to read.
The subtraction problem would be: 500 - 304 = ?
To solve this problem, we need to perform regrouping or borrowing. Start by subtracting the ones place: 0 - 4 = -4.
We cannot take 4 from 0, so we need to borrow or regroup. From the tens place, we "borrow" 1 ten (10) and add it to the ones place. Now we have 10 + 0 = 10.
Next, we subtract the ones place again: 10 - 4 = 6.
Finally, subtract the tens place: 4 - 0 = 4.
Therefore, the answer to the subtraction problem is 500 - 304 = 196.
So, Ted has 196 pages left to read.
