Subtract 6,232 from 8,324.
A. 2,112
B. 2,092
C. 14,556
D. 2,192
To subtract 6,232 from 8,324, we subtract each digit in the ones and the tens places, and then carry over the subtraction to the next column if necessary.
4 - 2 = 2
2 - 3 = -1 (we borrow 1 from the hundreds place)
11 - 6 = 5
So, the result is 2,092.
Therefore, the answer is B. 2,092.
To subtract 6,232 from 8,324, follow these steps:
1. Start with the larger number, which is 8,324.
2. Subtract the smaller number, which is 6,232.
- 8,324 - 6,232 = 2,092
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 2,092.
To subtract 6,232 from 8,324, you can use the column method.
First, write the two numbers vertically, aligning the place values:
8,324
- 6,232
Starting from the rightmost column, subtract the digits in each column. If the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit, you need to borrow from the next column.
In this case, you start at the ones column:
4 - 2 = 2
Moving to the tens column:
2 - 3 = -1. Since the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit, borrow 1 from the hundreds column. The tens column then becomes 12 - 3 = 9.
Next is the hundreds column:
3 - 6 (borrowed 1) = -3. Again, since the top digit is smaller, borrow from the thousands column, making it 13 - 6 (borrowed 1) = 7. The hundreds column becomes 7 - 6 = 1.
Finally, the thousands column:
8 - 2 (borrowed 1) = 6.
Thus, the result is 2,092.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 2,092.
