Let’s work through each part of the worksheet step by step.

Q1: Subtract without regrouping

We are subtracting numbers where we don’t need to borrow — so just subtract digit by digit from right to left (O → T → H → Th).

---

First row:

1. 5578 – 253

Align properly:

```
5 5 7 8
- 2 5 3
----------
```

Start from right:

- O: 8 - 3 = 5
- T: 7 - 5 = 2
- H: 5 - 2 = 3
- Th: 5 - 0 = 5

→ 5325

---

2. 9484 – 321

```
9 4 8 4
- 3 2 1
----------
```

- O: 4 - 1 = 3
- T: 8 - 2 = 6
- H: 4 - 3 = 1
- Th: 9 - 0 = 9

→ 9163

---

3. 6466 – 4365

```
6 4 6 6
- 4 3 6 5
----------
```

- O: 6 - 5 = 1
- T: 6 - 6 = 0
- H: 4 - 3 = 1
- Th: 6 - 4 = 2

→ 2101

---

Second row:

4. 3154 – 2030

```
3 1 5 4
- 2 0 3 0
----------
```

- O: 4 - 0 = 4
- T: 5 - 3 = 2
- H: 1 - 0 = 1
- Th: 3 - 2 = 1

→ 1124

---

5. 4698 – 1647

```
4 6 9 8
- 1 6 4 7
----------
```

- O: 8 - 7 = 1
- T: 9 - 4 = 5
- H: 6 - 6 = 0
- Th: 4 - 1 = 3

→ 3051

---

6. 8759 – 718

Note: 718 is only 3 digits, so align to the right:

```
8 7 5 9
- 7 1 8
----------
```

- O: 9 - 8 = 1
- T: 5 - 1 = 4
- H: 7 - 7 = 0
- Th: 8 - 0 = 8

→ 8041

---

Q2: Fill in the blanks

a) Subtract 6231 from 8453 → 8453 - 6231

```
8 4 5 3
- 6 2 3 1
----------
```

- O: 3 - 1 = 2
- T: 5 - 3 = 2
- H: 4 - 2 = 2
- Th: 8 - 6 = 2

→ 2222

b) Difference between 9478 and 7275 → 9478 - 7275

```
9 4 7 8
- 7 2 7 5
----------
```

- O: 8 - 5 = 3
- T: 7 - 7 = 0
- H: 4 - 2 = 2
- Th: 9 - 7 = 2

→ 2203

c) 7125 - 3021

```
7 1 2 5
- 3 0 2 1
----------
```

- O: 5 - 1 = 4
- T: 2 - 2 = 0
- H: 1 - 0 = 1
- Th: 7 - 3 = 4

→ 4104

d) Take away 4555 from 6869 → 6869 - 4555

```
6 8 6 9
- 4 5 5 5
----------
```

- O: 9 - 5 = 4
- T: 6 - 5 = 1
- H: 8 - 5 = 3
- Th: 6 - 4 = 2

→ 2314

e) Subtract 4929 from the largest 4-digit number.

Largest 4-digit number = 9999

So: 9999 - 4929

```
9 9 9 9
- 4 9 2 9
----------
```

- O: 9 - 9 = 0
- T: 9 - 2 = 7
- H: 9 - 9 = 0
- Th: 9 - 4 = 5

→ 5070
