      Subtraction on Number Line

      Example 1: 9 - 4


      Here, 4 is subtracted from the given number i.e. 9, so we will make 4 jumps to the left of 9.

      i.e. 1st jump – from 9 to 8,

           2nd jump – 8 to 7

           3rd jump – 7 to 6

           And 4th jump – 6 to 5

      Therefore, the difference of 9 and 4 is 5.

       

      Example 2: 7 - 3


      Here, 3 is subtracted from the given number i.e. 7, so we will make 3 jumps to the left of 7.

      i.e. 1st jump – from 7 to 6,

           2nd jump – 6 to 5

           And 3rd jump – 5 to 4

      Therefore, the difference of 7 and 3 is 4.



      Example 3: 6 - 2


      Here, 2 is subtracted from the given number i.e. 6, so we will make 2 jumps to the left of 6.

      i.e. 1st jump – from 6 to 5,

           2nd jump – 5 to 4

      Therefore, the difference of 6 and 2 is 4.
