Question. 118
If 0 is subtracted from a whole number, then the result is the ____ itself.
Answer:
number
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
Idea: Subtracting zero does not change a number.
-
Let the whole number be \(a\).
-
We subtract zero: \(a - 0\).
-
Zero means “nothing is taken away”. So the value stays the same.
-
Therefore, \(a - 0 = a\).
Quick examples:
- \(7 - 0 = 7\)
- \(15 - 0 = 15\)
- \(0 - 0 = 0\)
Conclusion: When 0 is subtracted from any whole number, the result is the same number.
