Subtraction with Measurements
Subtract lengths and times. Show your working where there is space, and include the unit in each answer.
Subtracting lengths
1.A strip of paper is 63 cm long. Maia trims 28 cm from it. How many centimetres remain?
2.A crayon was 16 cm long before use and is now 11 cm long. How many centimetres have worn away?
3.A piece of cord is 74 cm long. Pita cuts off 36 cm. Which equation shows how to find the length still left?
- 74 + 36 = 110
- 74 − 36 = 38
- 36 − 74 = 38
