Do you need to regroup to find 73-35?
Yes. You can't take 5 from 3.
Yes, you would need to regroup or borrow to find the difference between 73 and 35.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Start by writing down the larger number, 73, and the smaller number, 35, as shown:
73
- 35
2. Since 5 is greater than 3, we cannot subtract them directly. So we need to borrow from the tens place.
3. Cross out the 7 in the tens place and replace it with a 6. Then, add 10 to the 3 in the ones place, making it 13.
63
- 35
4. Now subtract 5 from 13 in the ones place. The difference is 8.
63
- 35
-------
8
5. Finally, subtract 3 from 6 in the tens place. The difference is 3.
63
- 35
-------
38
Therefore, the difference between 73 and 35 is 38.
