Let’s solve each subtraction problem step by step. We’ll count the total items, then subtract how many are crossed out or removed (shown in a different color or with an X), and write the answer.

---

Row 1: Frogs

- Total frogs: 8 (4 on top row, 4 on bottom)
- Crossed out (gray): 3
- So: 8 - 3 = 5

→ Write: 8 - 3 = 5

---

Row 2: Ice cream cones

- Total ice creams: 7 (3 on top, 4 on bottom)
- Crossed out (gray): 2
- So: 7 - 2 = 5

→ Write: 7 - 2 = 5

---

Row 3: Fish

- Total fish: 6 (3 orange, 3 gray — but wait! The gray ones are “removed”)
Actually, looking again: There are 6 fish total. 3 are orange (left), 3 are gray (right). Usually in these problems, the colored differently or faded ones are being subtracted.

But let’s check pattern: In first two rows, the *faded/gray* ones are subtracted.

Here, 3 fish are gray → so we subtract them.

Total: 6
Subtract: 3
6 - 3 = 3

→ Write: 6 - 3 = 3

Wait — actually, look at the image layout: It shows 3 orange fish on left, 3 gray on right. But sometimes the ones that are “crossed” or “different” are taken away. Since gray is used for subtraction in previous rows, yes — subtract 3.

Answer: 6 - 3 = 3

Row 4: Trees

- Total trees: 6 (3 green, 3 brown? Wait — no, all are same shape, but some have leaves?)

Actually, looking carefully: All 6 trees are shown, but 3 have full green tops, 3 have bare branches (or brown tops). Again, following pattern — the “different” ones are subtracted.

In prior rows, gray/faded = subtracted. Here, the 3 with bare tops are likely the ones being removed.

So total: 6
Subtract: 3
6 - 3 = 3

→ Write: 6 - 3 = 3

---

Row 5: Pumpkins

- Total pumpkins: 5 (all orange, but one has a face? Or maybe one is smaller?)

Wait — actually, there are 5 pumpkins. Four are normal, one is smiling? Or perhaps one is “taken”? Let me recount.

Looking: Top row: 3 pumpkins. Bottom row: 2 pumpkins. Total = 5.

One pumpkin (bottom left) has a smiley face — probably indicating it’s “left” or “not subtracted”? No — usually the ones that are different are the ones being subtracted.

Wait — in this case, maybe the smiling one is the only one LEFT? That would mean 4 were taken away.

Check: If total is 5, and 4 are plain, 1 is smiling — perhaps the smiling one is what remains? Then subtraction is 5 - 4 = 1.

That makes sense with the visual: often the “happy” or “colored” one is the remainder.

So: 5 total - 4 plain = 1 left

→ Write: 5 - 4 = 1

---

Row 6: Parrots

- Total parrots: 6 (3 colorful, 3 gray)

Again, gray = subtracted.

Total: 6
Subtract: 3
6 - 3 = 3

→ Write: 6 - 3 = 3

---

Row 7: Pears

- Total pears: 6 (3 green, 3 yellow)

Yellow might be the ones being subtracted? Or green?

Pattern: In previous, the “dull” or “gray” were subtracted. Here, yellow could be considered “less vibrant” than green? Or vice versa?

Wait — let’s think logically. Often in such worksheets, the ones that are “crossed out” or “faded” are subtracted. Here, none are crossed, but colors differ.

Look at last row too — rabbits: 3 brown, 3 gray. Probably gray are subtracted.

Similarly here: maybe yellow pears are subtracted? Or green?

Actually, let’s count positions:

Top row: 3 green pears
Bottom row: 3 yellow pears

If we assume the bottom row (yellow) are the ones being removed, then:

Total: 6
Subtract: 3
6 - 3 = 3

Same as others.

Alternatively, if green are kept, yellow removed — still 6 - 3 = 3.

Either way, answer is 3.

→ Write: 6 - 3 = 3

---

Row 8: Rabbits

- Total rabbits: 6 (3 brown, 3 gray)

Gray = subtracted (consistent with earlier patterns)

Total: 6
Subtract: 3
6 - 3 = 3

→ Write: 6 - 3 = 3

---

Now, let’s list all answers clearly:

1. Frogs: 8 - 3 = 5
2. Ice cream: 7 - 2 = 5
3. Fish: 6 - 3 = 3
4. Trees: 6 - 3 = 3
5. Pumpkins: 5 - 4 = 1
6. Parrots: 6 - 3 = 3
7. Pears: 6 - 3 = 3
8. Rabbits: 6 - 3 = 3

Double-checking pumpkin row: Yes, 5 total, 4 plain, 1 smiling → so 5 - 4 = 1 is correct.

All others follow consistent logic: total minus the “gray/different” group.

Final Answer:

8 - 3 = 5
7 - 2 = 5
6 - 3 = 3
6 - 3 = 3
5 - 4 = 1
6 - 3 = 3
6 - 3 = 3
6 - 3 = 3
