Answer 1

Let's fill in the blanks based on the provided information.

Starting with the equation:

343: 357 - 14

Subtracting as instructed:

• From the 5 tens (50) in 357, we subtract 1 ten (10), resulting in 4 tens (40).
• From the 7 ones (7) in 357, we subtract 4 ones (4), resulting in 3 ones (3).
• The 3 hundreds (300) remains unchanged since we are subtracting 0 hundreds.

So the calculations show:

3 hundreds minus 0 hundreds is still 3 hundreds.

Putting it all together we get:

• The hundreds place remains 3.
• The tens place is 4.
• The ones place is 3.

Therefore, we correctly get the difference of 343.

In summary, the filled-in statement is:

3 hundreds minus 0 hundreds is still 3 hundreds. So we correctly get the difference of 343.
