Find the missing digits.
- F
- G
F816 - 42G1 = 3565(a)
In the hundreds place, 8 is more than 2.
So, there is no regrouping in the thousands place.
F - 4 = 3
F = 3 + 4
F = 7
(b)
In the ones place, 6 is more than 1.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
1 - G = 6
In the tens place, 6 is more than 1.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 11 can substract a certain number to get 6.
G = 11 - 6
G = 5
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 5
