n this subtraction, the boxes contain the digits 3, 4, 6, and 9 in some order and the circles contain the digits 4, 5, 8, and 9 in some order. What four-digit number is represented by boxes ?
Lack enough data.
To find the four-digit number represented by the boxes, we need to subtract the four-digit number represented by the circles from it.
Let's start by listing the digits for the boxes: 3, 4, 6, and 9.
And the digits for the circles: 4, 5, 8, and 9.
Now let's subtract the two numbers, starting from the rightmost digit:
9 - 9 = 0 (no borrowing)
Next, from left to right:
6 - 8 = -2 (we need to borrow)
In this case, we borrow 1 from the thousands place, making it 4 instead of 3, and add 10 to the tens place:
(6 + 10) - 8 = 8
Moving on:
4 - 5 = -1 (we need to borrow again)
This time we borrow 1 from the tens place, making it 7 instead of 6, and add 10 to the ones place:
(4 + 10) - 5 = 9
Finally:
3 - 4 = -1 (we need to borrow again)
This time we borrow 1 from the ones place, making it 8 instead of 7, and add 10 to the thousands place:
(3 + 10) - 4 = 9
So, the four-digit number represented by the boxes is 9080.
To solve this subtraction problem and find the four-digit number represented by boxes, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: List all possible combinations of the digits in the boxes and circles.
- The boxes contain the digits 3, 4, 6, and 9 in some order.
- The circles contain the digits 4, 5, 8, and 9 in some order.
The possible combinations of the digits in the boxes are:
- 3469
- 3496
- 3649
- 3694
- 3946
- 3964
- 4369
- 4396
- 4639
- 4693
- 4936
- 4963
- 6349
- 6394
- 6439
- 6493
- 6934
- 6943
- 9346
- 9364
- 9436
- 9463
- 9634
- 9643
Step 2: Substitute each combination into the subtraction problem and check which one is correct.
- Subtract the number in circles from the number in boxes.
- Compare the result with the given subtraction problem.
Unfortunately, you haven't provided the subtraction problem itself, so I can't perform Step 2 and determine the correct combination and the four-digit number represented by boxes. Please provide the subtraction problem, and I'll be happy to guide you further.
