Vertical Subtraction Practice Problems & Worksheets

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Align the numbers vertically by their place values.

• Step 2: Subtract the digits in the ones place.

• Step 3: Subtract the digits in the tens place, borrowing if needed.

Now, let's work through each step together:

Step 1: Align 97 and 63 vertically:

$\begin{array}{c} \phantom{00\ }9\phantom{0}7 \\ -\phantom{0}6\phantom{0}3 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Step 2: Start with the ones place:

The digits are 7 and 3.

Subtract 3 from 7: $7 - 3 = 4$.

Step 3: Move to the tens place:

The digits are 9 and 6.

Subtract 6 from 9: $9 - 6 = 3$.

Write the results in their respective place values:

$\begin{array}{c} \phantom{00\ }9\phantom{0}7 \\ -\phantom{0}6\phantom{0}3 \\ \hline \phantom{00\ }3\phantom{0}4 \\ \end{array}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 34.

To solve this problem, let's perform vertical subtraction:

• Step 1: Align the numbers 99 and 9 for subtraction.
• Step 2: Subtract starting from the rightmost digits: the ones place.
• Step 3: $9 - 9 = 0$ in the ones place.
• Step 4: Move to the tens place: $9 - 0 = 9$. (Since we did not borrow any value from the tens place, the 9 remains.)

Thus, the result of the subtraction is $90$.

Therefore, the solution to the mathematical problem is $90$, which corresponds to choice 2.

Let's solve the subtraction problem $105 - 3$:

Align the numbers vertically to ensure each digit is in the correct place value position:

• Write 105 as:
  $\begin{array}{c} 1 & 0 & 5 \\ \end{array}$

• Place 3 beneath 105 such that it aligns with the rightmost digit (units place):
  $\begin{array}{c} - & & 3 \\ \end{array}$

• Subtract each column starting from the rightmost side (units digit) to the left:

Step-by-step subtraction:

• Units column: $5 - 3 = 2$

• Tens column: There is nothing to subtract with 0, so it remains $0$.

• Hundreds column: Similarly, there is nothing to subtract, so it remains $1$.

Combine the results of these steps to find the answer:

The result of the subtraction $105 - 3 = 102$.

Therefore, the correct answer is $102$.

Let's solve the basic vertical subtraction problem where we subtract 4 from 157 step by step:

• Step 1: Write the numbers in a vertical format, ensuring to align them by place values.
  $\begin{array}{c} 157 \\ -\ 4 \\ \underline{\phantom{776}} \\ \end{array}$

• Step 2: Perform subtraction starting from the rightmost digit (the ones place).
  - Subtract 4 from 7 in the ones column, resulting in 3.

• Step 3: Since the number being subtracted, 4, has no digit in the tens and hundreds places, bring down the remaining digits from 157. These are 5 in the tens place and 1 in the hundreds place.

Thus, the result of subtracting 4 from 157 is $153$.

Among the options provided, choice 2 is the correct answer, which states 153.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $153$.

To solve this problem, we'll perform simple vertical subtraction for the numbers given, 15 and 4:

Step-by-step solution:

• Step 1: Write the numbers in a column, aligning the digits according to place value.
  
• Step 2: Start subtracting from the rightmost column (the ones column).
  In the ones column, subtract 4 from 5:$5 - 4 = 1$.
• Step 3: Move to the tens column. There is no subtraction to perform here since it's only $1 - 0$, which leaves the digit as is.

Thus, there is no borrowing needed because the digits in the minuend are sufficient to carry out the subtraction.

The result of the subtraction $15 - 4$ is $11$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $11$.

The correct multiple-choice answer is option 1: $11$.
