About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 6 word problems subtracting fractions with a tape diagram divided into the common denominator.
This worksheet subtracts two fractions using a tape diagram. One whole is cut into the common denominator, the amount taken away takes the first run of cells and what is left of the larger fraction takes the next, so the difference is read by counting rather than by finding a least common denominator on paper. Every answer is already in lowest terms, since the student counts cells. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
