3-digit Subtraction With Regrouping Coloring Sheet 2F8 - Free Printable

Let’s solve each subtraction problem step by step. We’ll do them one at a time, carefully checking our work.

---

1. 750 – 271

Start from the right:
- 0 – 1 → can’t do, so borrow from 5 (tens place). Now it’s 10 – 1 = 9.
- Tens place: 4 (since we borrowed) – 7 → can’t do, borrow from 7 (hundreds). Now it’s 14 – 7 = 7.
- Hundreds: 6 (after borrowing) – 2 = 4.

✔ Answer: 479

---

2. 825 – 578

Right to left:
- 5 – 8 → borrow from 2 → 15 – 8 = 7
- Tens: 1 (after borrow) – 7 → borrow from 8 → 11 – 7 = 4
- Hundreds: 7 – 5 = 2

✔ Answer: 247

---

3. 720 – 595

- 0 – 5 → borrow from 2 → 10 – 5 = 5
- Tens: 1 – 9 → borrow from 7 → 11 – 9 = 2
- Hundreds: 6 – 5 = 1

✔ Answer: 125

---

4. 404 – 279

- 4 – 9 → borrow from 0? Can’t! So go to hundreds: 4 becomes 3, tens become 10. But we need to borrow for ones, so tens become 9, ones become 14.
→ 14 – 9 = 5
- Tens: 9 – 7 = 2
- Hundreds: 3 – 2 = 1

✔ Answer: 125

Wait — let me double-check that:

Actually, 404 – 279:

Break it down:
404 – 200 = 204
204 – 79 = ?

204 – 70 = 134
134 – 9 = 125 ✔

Yes, correct.

5. 513 – 388

- 3 – 8 → borrow → 13 – 8 = 5
- Tens: 0 (after borrow) – 8 → borrow from 5 → 10 – 8 = 2? Wait — original tens digit was 1, we borrowed for ones, so now it’s 0. Then we borrow from hundreds → tens become 10, then subtract 8 → 2? Let’s redo carefully.

Better way:

513
–388
_____

Ones: 3 < 8 → borrow from tens. But tens is 1 → so borrow from hundreds first.

Hundreds: 5 → 4
Tens: 1 → 11
Now borrow 1 ten for ones → tens become 10, ones become 13.

Ones: 13 – 8 = 5
Tens: 10 – 8 = 2
Hundreds: 4 – 3 = 1

✔ Answer: 125

Wait — that seems too many 125s. Let me calculate numerically:

513 – 388 = ?

513 – 300 = 213
213 – 88 = 125 ✔ Yes.

6. 404 – 279 — already did above → 125

Wait, no — in the rocket, there are two different problems with same numbers? Let me check image again mentally.

Actually, looking back — yes, “404 – 279” appears twice? Or maybe I misread.

Wait — in the rocket body, there’s:

Top section: 825 – 578 → 247
Then below: 720 – 595 → 125
Then: 404 – 279 → 125
Then: 513 – 388 → 125
Then: 730 – 483 → let’s compute this next.

Hold on — let’s list all unique problems as they appear in the rocket and flames.

From top to bottom, left to right:

Rocket nose cone:
- 750 – 271 = 479
- 825 – 578 = 247
- 720 – 595 = 125

Middle body:
- 404 – 279 = 125
- 513 – 388 = 125
- 730 – 483 = ? ← new one

Flame sections:
Left flame:
- 745 – 359 = ?
- 730 – 278 = ?
- 742 – 235 = ?

Right flame:
- 800 – 321 = ?
- 415 – 168 = ?
- 921 – 688 = ?
- 533 – 147 = ?

And also: 730 – 483 is in middle body.

Let’s continue computing all.

7. 730 – 483

- 0 – 3 → borrow → 10 – 3 = 7
- Tens: 2 (after borrow) – 8 → borrow from 7 → 12 – 8 = 4
- Hundreds: 6 – 4 = 2

10. 742 – 235

- 2 – 5 → borrow → 12 – 5 = 7
- Tens: 3 – 3 = 0
- Hundreds: 7 – 2 = 5? Wait — after borrow, hundreds is still 7? No:

Original: 742
Borrow for ones: tens 4 becomes 3, ones 2 becomes 12 → 12 – 5 = 7
Tens: 3 – 3 = 0
Hundreds: 7 – 2 = 5

✔ Answer: 507

Check: 742 – 235 = 507?
742 – 200 = 542; 542 – 35 = 507 ✔

---

11. 800 – 321

- 0 – 1 → borrow → but tens is 0, so go to hundreds.

800 → borrow: hundreds 8→7, tens 0→10, then borrow for ones: tens 10→9, ones 0→10

Ones: 10 – 1 = 9
Tens: 9 – 2 = 7
Hundreds: 7 – 3 = 4

✔ Answer: 479

Check: 800 – 321 = 479?
800 – 300 = 500; 500 – 21 = 479 ✔

12. 415 – 168

- 5 – 8 → borrow → 15 – 8 = 7
- Tens: 0 (after borrow) – 6 → borrow from 4 → 10 – 6 = 4? Wait:

Original: 415
Ones: 5 < 8 → borrow from tens. Tens is 1 → becomes 0, ones become 15 → 15 – 8 = 7
Tens: 0 – 6 → can’t, borrow from hundreds → hundreds 4→3, tens 0→10 → 10 – 6 = 4
Hundreds: 3 – 1 = 2

✔ Answer: 247

Check: 415 – 168 = 247?

- 1 – 8 → borrow → 11 – 8 = 3
- Tens: 1 (after borrow) – 8 → borrow from 9 → 11 – 8 = 3
- Hundreds: 8 – 6 = 2

✔ Answer: 233

Check: 921 – 688 = 233?
921 – 600 = 321; 321 – 88 = 233 ✔

---

14. 533 – 147

- 3 – 7 → borrow → 13 – 7 = 6
- Tens: 2 (after borrow) – 4 → borrow from 5 → 12 – 4 = 8

Now let’s collect all answers and match to color code:

Color Code:
- 125 → white
- 233 → purple
- 247 → red
- 386 → orange
- 452 → black
- 479 → blue
- 507 → yellow

Now assign colors to each part of the rocket based on the answer in that section.

List of problems and their answers:

Nose cone:
- 750 – 271 = 479 → blue
- 825 – 578 = 247 → red
- 720 – 595 = 125 → white

Body:
- 404 – 279 = 125 → white
- 513 – 388 = 125 → white
- 730 – 483 = 247 → red

Flames (left side):
- 745 – 359 = 386 → orange
- 730 – 278 = 452 → black
- 742 – 235 = 507 → yellow

Flames (right side):
- 800 – 321 = 479 → blue
- 415 – 168 = 247 → red
- 921 – 688 = 233 → purple
- 533 – 147 = 386 → orange

Also, note: the "USA" letters are not colored — only the sections with math problems.

So final coloring instructions per section:

But since the question is to “solve the problem”, and the task is to subtract and use chart to color — but user didn’t ask to describe coloring, just to solve.

The instruction says: “Solve the problem accurately.” And the problem is to subtract each pair.

So perhaps the expected output is the list of answers?

But looking at context — it’s a coloring worksheet. However, since GeneratePractice etc. are false, and no option to explain coloring, probably just provide the computed differences.

But to be safe — since the user said “solve the problem”, and the problem involves doing all subtractions, I should list all answers.

Alternatively, maybe group by section? But simplest is to list each problem and its answer.

But to avoid clutter, since some answers repeat, perhaps just state the results needed for coloring.

However, the safest approach is to provide all subtraction results as solved.

Final Answer will be the list of answers corresponding to each problem in order as they might be encountered, or just the set.

But since the worksheet has multiple instances, and the goal is to color, but user didn't specify output format beyond "solve", I think providing the numerical answers for each unique calculation is fine.

Actually, re-reading: “Subtract. Use the chart to color the picture.” — so the core task is subtraction. The coloring is application.

Since no specific output requested, I’ll provide the answers for each subtraction problem shown.

To make it clear, I’ll list them as they appear roughly top to bottom.

Final compiled answers:

- 750 – 271 = 479
- 825 – 578 = 247
- 720 – 595 = 125
- 404 – 279 = 125
- 513 – 388 = 125
- 730 – 483 = 247
- 745 – 359 = 386
- 730 – 278 = 452
- 742 – 235 = 507
- 800 – 321 = 479
- 415 – 168 = 247
- 921 – 688 = 233
- 533 – 147 = 386

All verified.

Final Answer:
479, 247, 125, 125, 125, 247, 386, 452, 507, 479, 247, 233, 386
