Step-by-step solution for: 3RD GRADE MATH - THREE DIGIT SUBTRACTION WITH REGROUPING — Steemit
Let's solve each subtraction problem in the worksheet step by step, using three-digit subtraction with regrouping (also known as borrowing). We'll follow the example provided:
---
```
704
-256
----
448
```
We’ll use the same method for all problems.
---
```
341
-163
----
```
- Ones place: 1 - 3 → can't do, borrow from tens.
- Tens digit is 4 → becomes 3, ones become 11.
- 11 - 3 = 8
- Tens place: 3 (after borrowing) - 6 → can't do, borrow from hundreds.
- Hundreds digit 3 → becomes 2, tens become 13.
- 13 - 6 = 7
- Hundreds place: 2 - 1 = 1
✔ Result: 178
---
```
635
-247
----
```
- Ones: 5 - 7 → borrow. Tens: 3 → 2, ones: 15 - 7 = 8
- Tens: 2 - 4 → borrow. Hundreds: 6 → 5, tens: 12 - 4 = 8
- Hundreds: 5 - 2 = 3
✔ Result: 388
---
```
607
-379
----
```
- Ones: 7 - 9 → borrow. Tens: 0 → can't borrow, so go to hundreds.
- Hundreds: 6 → 5, tens: 10 → but we need to borrow for ones.
- So: tens become 9, ones become 17 → 17 - 9 = 8
- Tens: 9 (after borrowing) - 7 = 2
- Hundreds: 5 - 3 = 2
✔ Result: 228

```
- Ones: 3 - 6 → borrow. Tens: 0 → need to go to hundreds.
- Hundreds: 8 → 7, tens: 10 → but borrow → tens become 9, ones become 13
- 13 - 6 = 7
- Tens: 9 - 5 = 4
- Hundreds: 7 - 4 = 3

- 14 - 5 = 9
- Tens: 9 - 9 = 0
- Hundreds: 8 - 4 = 4

All problems solved using regrouping (borrowing) when needed. The key steps are:
1. Start from the right (ones place).
2. If top digit is smaller than bottom, borrow from the next higher place.
3. Remember to reduce the borrowed digit by 1 and increase the current digit by 10.
4. Repeat for tens and hundreds.
