Answer 2

(Below is answer)

Step-by-step explanation: Since "fewer" means to subtract, we'll need to subtract 40 by 32.

1. 40 - 32 = ?

2. Zero cannot be subtracted by 2. Hence, we'll need to regroup.

• Take one ten from the tens place. (Zero becomes 10)

2a. 10 - 2 = 8

3. Solve again.

• 30 - 22 = 8

Hence, our answer is 8.
