Let's subtract mixed numbers! Each word problem on this worksheet has two tape measures. Shade the first tape measure to match the minuend, which is the mixed number you are subtracting from. Then, shade the second tape measure to match the subtrahend, which is the mixed number being subtracted. The part left unshaded on the second tape measure shows the difference. That's your answer! Study the example carefully, then use tape measure bar models to complete three more challenges on your own.
