In this worksheet, we will learn how to find the difference between two numbers.
For Example:
Question:
Find the difference between 31.95 and 4.78.
Answer:
"Finding the difference" is the same as subtracting, so we need to work out 31.95 - 4.78
We line up the decimal points and then subtract, remembering to borrow from the 9 because we can't do 5 - 8.
3 1 . 9 5
4 . 7 8
2 7 . 1 7
So 31.95 - 4.78 = 27.17
