Kishan has 456 saplings in August. He distributed 63 saplings. How many saplings are left with him?

Correct Answer

Given: Total saplings = 456, Distributed saplings = 63

Formula: Remaining saplings = Total saplings - Distributed saplings

Setup: 456 - 63

Calculation: Ones: 6 - 3 = 3 Tens: 5 - 6 (Need to borrow from hundreds) Borrow: 15 - 6 = 9 Hundreds: 4 - 1 = 3

Answer: 393 saplings are left with Kishan.

Explanation

This is a subtraction problem. Kishan started with 456 saplings and distributed 63 saplings. To find the remaining saplings, we subtract: 456 - 63 = 393. Using the box diagram method shown in the chapter, we can use hundreds, tens and ones blocks or a number line to solve this.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify the operation - subtraction (saplings left = total - distributed)

  2. Step 2: Set up: 456 - 63

  3. Step 3: Subtract ones: 6 - 3 = 3 (or borrow if needed)

  4. Step 4: Subtract tens: 5 - 6 (need to borrow from hundreds)

  5. Step 5: Borrow 1 hundred = 10 tens, so 15 - 6 = 9 tens

  6. Step 6: Hundreds: 4 - 1 = 3 hundreds

  7. Step 7: Answer: 393 saplings
