Worksheet Overview

In this activity, we will practise the subtraction of decimal numbers.

 

When adding or subtracting decimal numbers, be sure to keep the numbers and the decimal point in the right columns.

 

Example

 

    17.3 - 9.42

 
 
- 1 7 . 3  0 (You can put 0 at the end, if you wish)
  9 . 4 2
    7 . 8 8

 

 

If we fail to line the columns or decimal point up correctly, we will be mixing up our place values and it could result in some crazy answers.

 

So, be careful!!
