Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.<\/p>\n
a) 316,900+81,971+49,500 = 448,371<\/p>\n
b) 15,467-8,769 = 6,698<\/p>\n
c) 12,742 km – 6,779 km = 5,963 km<\/p>\n
d) 20,000-1,543 = 18,457-2,575 = 15,882-6,543 = 9,339 survived<\/p>\n
e) \u00a32,000,000-\u00a3455,500 = \u00a31,544,500-\u00a3103,500 = \u00a31,441,000-\u00a313,900 = \u00a31,427,100 left<\/p>\n
