To complete the subtraction problem, we start with the numbers laid out as follows:
855
- 44☐
------
407
We need to find the missing digit (☐) in the bottom number.
Let’s break it down step-by-step:
1. Look at the units column (the rightmost column):
– We need ☐ to be such that when we subtract it from 5, we get 7 in the result.
– Since we cannot have a negative result here, we need to borrow from the next column to the left.
2. Borrowing means the 5 becomes a 4, and the 5 in the units place becomes 15.
– Now we can calculate: 15 – ☐ = 7
– Solving for ☐ gives: ☐ = 15 – 7 = 8.
3. Now, let’s place the 8 back into the subtraction:
“`
855
– 448
——
407
4. Let’s verify:
– 5 – 8 (borrow the 1) becomes 15 – 8 = 7 (correct).
– 4 – 4 = 0 (correct).
– 8 – 4 = 4 (correct).
So, the missing number is 8.
