Grade 6 Decimals Worksheet titled
“Subtracting decimals (1-2 decimal digit)”, which asks students to find the missing numbers in subtraction equations.
This is a straightforward algebraic problem — each equation is of the form:
>
? – A = B
> or
>
A – ? = B
We solve for the missing number using basic arithmetic:
---
🔢 General Rules:
1. If it’s
? – A = B, then
? = B + A
2. If it’s
A – ? = B, then
? = A – B
---
Let’s solve each problem step by step:
---
📝 Problem 1: `____ – 0.7 = 6.7`
→ Missing number = 6.7 + 0.7 =
7.4
---
📝 Problem 2: `____ – 5.21 = 1.49`
→ Missing number = 1.49 + 5.21 =
6.70
---
📝 Problem 3: `____ – 2.7 = 2.9`
→ Missing number = 2.9 + 2.7 =
5.6
---
📝 Problem 4: `9.3 – ____ = 1.34`
→ Missing number = 9.3 – 1.34 =
7.96
---
📝 Problem 5: `7.9 – ____ = 7`
→ Missing number = 7.9 – 7 =
0.9
---
📝 Problem 6: `9.5 – ____ = 8.6`
→ Missing number = 9.5 – 8.6 =
0.9
---
📝 Problem 7: `9.8 – ____ = 8`
→ Missing number = 9.8 – 8 =
1.8
---
📝 Problem 8: `____ – 5.40 = 2.2`
→ Missing number = 2.2 + 5.40 =
7.60
---
📝 Problem 9: `4.1 – ____ = 0.01`
→ Missing number = 4.1 – 0.01 =
4.09
---
📝 Problem 10: `8.1 – ____ = 2.4`
→ Missing number = 8.1 – 2.4 =
5.7
---
📝 Problem 11: `____ – 0.59 = 2.71`
→ Missing number = 2.71 + 0.59 =
3.30
---
📝 Problem 12: `6.4 – ____ = 1.6`
→ Missing number = 6.4 – 1.6 =
4.8
---
📝 Problem 13: `3.0 – ____ = 1.5`
→ Missing number = 3.0 – 1.5 =
1.5
---
📝 Problem 14: `5.48 – ____ = 2.98`
→ Missing number = 5.48 – 2.98 =
2.50
---
