Let's solve the subtraction problem 455 minus 49. We'll work through this step by step using the standard subtraction algorithm.
First, we need to subtract the ones digits: 5 minus 9. However, since 5 is smaller than 9, we can't directly subtract. We need to borrow from the tens place.
To solve this, we borrow 1 from the tens place. The 5 in the tens place becomes 4, and the 5 in the ones place becomes 15. Now we can subtract 9 from 15, which gives us 6 for the ones digit of our answer.
Now we continue with the tens place. We subtract 4 from 4, which gives us 0. Then for the hundreds place, we subtract 0 from 4, giving us 4. Combining all our results, we get 406 as our final answer to 455 minus 49.
Let's summarize the steps we took to solve 455 minus 49. First, we borrowed from the tens place to make 15 in the ones place. Then we subtracted the ones: 15 minus 9 equals 6. Next, we subtracted the tens: 4 minus 4 equals 0. Finally, we subtracted the hundreds: 4 minus 0 equals 4. Putting it all together, our final answer is 406.
