Let’s solve each subtraction problem and match the answer to the color key.
We’ll go section by section:
---
Butterfly parts:
- 9 - 0 =
9 → YELLOW
- 5 - 1 =
4 → PINK
- 9 - 3 =
6 → RED
- 9 - 1 =
8 → GREEN (this is the butterfly’s head)
- 10 - 1 =
9 → YELLOW
- 10 - 8 =
2 → BROWN
- 11 - 2 =
9 → YELLOW
- 8 - 1 =
7 → PURPLE
---
Cloud:
- 5 - 0 =
5 → BLUE
---
Left flower:
Center: 7 - 0 =
7 → PURPLE
Petals:
- 8 - 4 =
4 → PINK
- 10 - 6 =
4 → PINK
- 9 - 5 =
4 → PINK
- 7 - 3 =
4 → PINK
- 4 - 0 =
4 → PINK
- 6 - 2 =
4 → PINK
→ All petals are 4 → PINK, center is 7 → PURPLE
---
Right flower:
Center: 4 - 1 =
3 → ORANGE
Petals:
- 14 - 5 =
9 → YELLOW
- 17 - 8 =
9 → YELLOW
- 16 - 7 =
9 → YELLOW
- 13 - 4 =
9 → YELLOW
- 15 - 6 =
9 → YELLOW
- 12 - 3 =
9 → YELLOW
→ All petals are 9 → YELLOW, center is 3 → ORANGE
---
Grass at bottom:
- 10 - 2 =
8 → GREEN
---
Now let’s list all answers with colors for clarity:
| Problem | Answer | Color |
|-------------|--------|----------|
| 9 - 0 | 9 | YELLOW |
| 5 - 1 | 4 | PINK |
| 9 - 3 | 6 | RED |
| 9 - 1 | 8 | GREEN |
| 10 - 1 | 9 | YELLOW |
| 10 - 8 | 2 | BROWN |
| 11 - 2 | 9 | YELLOW |
| 8 - 1 | 7 | PURPLE |
| 5 - 0 (cloud)| 5 | BLUE |
| Left flower center: 7 - 0 | 7 | PURPLE |
| Left flower petals (all): 8-4, 10-6, etc. | 4 | PINK |
| Right flower center: 4 - 1 | 3 | ORANGE |
| Right flower petals (all): 14-5, 17-8, etc. | 9 | YELLOW |
| Grass: 10 - 2 | 8 | GREEN |
✔ All calculations checked.
