Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Free Subtraction With Borrow Worksheets For Grade 1
Let's solve each subtraction problem in the worksheet using subtraction with borrowing (also known as regrouping). We'll go step by step for each one.

---

Row 1


1. 63 - 17
- 3 < 7 → borrow from tens: 13 - 7 = 6
- 5 (after borrowing) - 1 = 4
46

2. 40 - 19
- 0 < 9 → borrow: 10 - 9 = 1
- 3 (after borrowing) - 1 = 2
21

3. 34 - 45
- 4 < 5 → borrow: 14 - 5 = 9
- 2 (after borrowing) - 4 → can't do, so need to borrow again? Wait — 34 is smaller than 45 → result is negative
But since this is a two-digit subtraction, and 34 < 45, we get:
-11 (but typically in such worksheets, problems are designed so that top number > bottom. So maybe typo?)
Let’s double-check: 34 - 45 = -11, but perhaps it's meant to be 45 - 34? No, as written, it's 34 - 45.
-11 (but likely not expected here; let's assume it's okay)

However, if we assume only positive results are expected, perhaps it's a mistake. But we’ll proceed.

4. 92 - 69
- 2 < 9 → borrow: 12 - 9 = 3
- 8 - 6 = 2
23

5. 68 - 39
- 8 < 9 → borrow: 18 - 9 = 9
- 5 - 3 = 2
29

Row 2


6. 62 - 16
- 2 < 6 → borrow: 12 - 6 = 6
- 5 - 1 = 4
46

7. 83 - 37
- 3 < 7 → borrow: 13 - 7 = 6
- 7 - 3 = 4
46

8. 63 - 17
- 3 < 7 → borrow: 13 - 7 = 6
- 5 - 1 = 4
46

9. 94 - 69
- 4 < 9 → borrow: 14 - 9 = 5
- 8 - 6 = 2
25

10. 63 - 48
- 3 < 8 → borrow: 13 - 8 = 5
- 5 - 4 = 1
15

- 6 < 7 → borrow: 16 - 7 = 9
- 4 - 3 = 1
19

13. 64 - 57
- 4 < 7 → borrow: 14 - 7 = 7
- 5 - 5 = 0
07 or 7

14. 72 - 69
- 2 < 9 → borrow: 12 - 9 = 3
- 6 - 6 = 0
03 or 3

15. 82 - 78
- 2 < 8 → borrow: 12 - 8 = 4
- 7 - 7 = 0
04 or 4

- 3 < 7 → borrow: 13 - 7 = 6
- 7 - 4 = 3

- 1 < 9 → borrow: 11 - 9 = 2
- 5 - 2 = 3
32

19. 66 - 27
- 6 < 7 → borrow: 16 - 7 = 9
- 5 - 2 = 3

- 1 < 2 → borrow: 11 - 2 = 9
- 6 - 4 = 2
29

23. 70 - 35
- 0 < 5 → borrow: 10 - 5 = 5
- 6 - 3 = 3
35

🔍 Notes:


- The problem 34 - 45 results in a negative number (-11). This might be an error in the worksheet, as most elementary subtraction with borrowing exercises avoid negative answers. If the intention was 45 - 34, then answer would be 11.
- All other problems involve borrowing and are correctly solvable.

Recommended Solution Table (with corrections if needed):



If you're filling out the worksheet, write:

```
46 21 -11 23 29
46 46 46 25 15
49 19 7 3 4
8 36 32 39 47
25 29 35 24 16
```

But if negatives aren't allowed, consider checking if 34 - 45 was meant to be 45 - 34 → then answer is 11.
