Problem Analysis:
The task involves solving a series of subtraction problems and then connecting the answers in the order they are solved. The goal is to determine what picture is formed by connecting the dots based on the answers.
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### 1. Solve Each Subtraction Problem:
We will solve each subtraction problem listed in the image:
-
a. \( 8 - 3 = \)
\[
8 - 3 = 5
\]
-
b. \( 5 - 4 = \)
\[
5 - 4 = 1
\]
-
c. \( 9 - 6 = \)
\[
9 - 6 = 3
\]
-
d. \( 8 - 1 = \)
\[
8 - 1 = 7
\]
-
e. \( 9 - 1 = \)
\[
9 - 1 = 8
\]
-
f. \( 8 - 2 = \)
\[
8 - 2 = 6
\]
-
g. \( 7 - 5 = \)
\[
7 - 5 = 2
\]
-
h. \( 6 - 5 = \)
\[
6 - 5 = 1
\]
-
i. \( 9 - 0 = \)
\[
9 - 0 = 9
\]
-
j. \( 7 - 3 = \)
\[
7 - 3 = 4
\]
#### 2. Write Down the Answers in Order:
The answers to the problems are:
\[
5, 1, 3, 7, 8, 6, 2, 1, 9, 4
\]
#### 3. Connect the Dots in the Order of the Answers:
The next step is to connect the dots labeled with these numbers in the order they appear: \( 5 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 3 \rightarrow 7 \rightarrow 8 \rightarrow 6 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 9 \rightarrow 4 \).
#### 4. Identify the Picture Formed:
By connecting the dots in this order, the resulting shape resembles a
sailboat. The sail, mast, and hull of the sailboat are formed by the connected lines.
Final Answer:
The picture formed by connecting the dots is a
sailboat.
\[
\boxed{\text{sailboat}}
\]
