Sample problems

  1. 14.80 − 14.22 = 0.58
  2. 15.40 − 4.58 = 10.82
  3. 3.65 − 1.42 = 2.23
  4. 19.28 − 16.88 = 2.40
  5. 9.03 − 7.66 = 1.37

A worked example

14.80 − 14.22 = 0.58

  1. Line up the decimal points, then subtract as whole numbers: 1480 − 1422 = 58
  2. Put the decimal point back, two places from the right: 0.58

Every problem on the answer key can show its steps like this — turn on “Show steps” before downloading.

About these worksheets

Fractions and decimals are where a small slip in one step changes the whole answer, so the worked steps matter. Every sheet is generated fresh, so you can print a new one on the same skill as often as you need — different numbers, same difficulty.

Pick how many problems you want and whether they should be easy, medium or hard, then download a PDF with a matching answer key. The key can show the worked steps for every problem, which is what a parent needs to see where a wrong answer went wrong.
