Subtract mixed numbers with borrowing
A mixed number has a whole number part and a fraction part. Sometimes when you want to subtract 2 mixed numbers, you will find that the fraction part of the second number is greater than that of the first. For instance, in the sum 2⅓ - 1⅔ the fraction part of the second number is greater than the fraction part of the first number.
So one way to solve such a sum is to borrow 1 from the first whole number (which is reduced by 1) and add it to the fraction part so that the fraction part of the first number becomes greater than the fraction part of the second number. In our example, 2⅓ - 1⅔ becomes:
Now you can subract the fraction part first, and then the whole numbers to arrive at the solution.
A different way to think about this sum (and any similar sum where the denominators of the fraction parts are the same) is to count up from the second number to the first. So in our example above, counting up from one and two thirds to two gives us one third, and then we need another third to get to the first number two and a third, so the difference between the 2 numbers is two thirds.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Subtract mixed fractions with borrowing" from 4th grade / Fractions / Subtract fractions. The math in this game consists of 14 questions that ask you to use borrowing to subtract mixed fractions.
In this game we are in a room with lots of toys - and the room needs clearing up - you need to put the play blocks back in the right boxes to tidy the room and win the game...but which is the right box for each block? Well, you can work that out by comparing the question on the block with the math answer on each of the boxes - you should drag the question block into the box whose math answer matches the picture question.
You can listen to the spoken math answer by clicking on the individual boxes. There are 5 blocks to clear up - but if you put them in the wrong boxes, there will be more... Anyway, tidy is good and practicing math is better so start now and see how you get on...
This game reinforces the math you learned or revised in the lesson by asking you to match each question to the correct answer. If you are older you may not like the childish reference to toys, but don't worry - there are other games to play, and who knows - you might like a trip down memory lane?
