how can place value help me subtract?
i can? numbers by place value to help me subtract.
break apart
divide
To subtract using place value, we typically break apart numbers into their place - value components (like tens, ones, hundreds etc.). For example, to subtract 35 - 12, we can break 35 into 3 tens and 5 ones, and 12 into 1 ten and 2 ones. Then we subtract the corresponding place - value parts (3 tens - 1 ten = 2 tens, 5 ones - 2 ones = 3 ones) and combine the results (2 tens and 3 ones = 23). The operation of dividing numbers is not related to subtraction using place value in this context. So the correct option is "break apart".
