Find the missing digits.
- T
- U
T945 - 47U2 = 4153(a)
In the hundreds place, 9 is more than 7.
So, there is no regrouping in the thousands place.
T - 4 = 4
T = 4 + 4
T = 8
(b)
In the ones place, 5 is more than 2.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
4 - U = 5
In the tens place, 5 is more than 4.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 14 can substract a certain number to get 5.
U = 14 - 5
U = 9
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 9
