Thousandths
Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each

SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you
need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of
the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check
your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you
will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can
best help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part
of this SLM. Use a separate of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And read
the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the
tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

Thank you.
 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
the skills in subtracting decimals and mixed decimals through ten thousandths. The
scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you
read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 – Subtracting Decimals and Mixed Decimals through Ten
Thousandths without Regrouping
 Lesson 2 – Subtracting Decimals and Mixed Decimals through Ten
Thousandths with Regrouping

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. subtract decimals and mixed decimals through ten thousandths without
regrouping; (M6NS-Id-106.2)
2. subtract decimals and mixed decimals through ten thousandths with
regrouping; (M6NS-Id-106.2) and
3. solve one or more steps routine and non-routine problems involving addition
and/or subtraction of decimals and mixed decimals using appropriate
problem-solving strategies and tools. (M6NS-Id-108.2)

What’s New

Read the problem and try to understand it.

Joyce loves to take a walk from home to school every morning. The
distance of school from their home is 2.6793 kilometers. Before going to school,
her mother asked her to deliver the bread to her aunt on the next block which is
1.3201 kilometers away from their home. How many kilometers she needs to
walk from her aunt’s house to school?

CO_Q1_Mathematics6_Module6
 What is It

What is asked in the problem? Can you solve the given problem? What process will
you use to find the answer?

Here are the steps to solve it.

 Write and arrange the numbers vertically. Align the decimal points.

2.6793
- 1.3201

 Subtract the ten thousandths place.

2.6793
- 3 1  2
1.3201
2

 Subtract the thousandths place.

-
2.6793 90 9
1.3201
92
 Subtract the hundredths place.

2.6793
- 725
1.3201

CO_Q1_Mathematics6_Module6
 Subtract the tenths place.

2.6793
- 63 3
1.3201
3592
 Place the decimal point.

2.6793
-
1.3201
.3592

 Subtract the whole numbers. Subtract the ones.

2.6793
- 2 1  1
1.3201
1.3592

So, 2.6793 – 1.3201 = 1.592

Therefore, 1.3592 kilometers is the distance that Joyce needs to walk.

Jacob went to the department store to buy a pair of shoes. He

bought a pair of shoes for ₱245.78. He gave the cashier the amount of
₱250.00. How much change did he receive?

CO_Q1_Mathematics6_Module6
 What is It

What information is given in the problem? How are you going to solve for it?
Here are the steps to solve it.

 Write and arrange the numbers vertically. Align the decimal points. Fill in
the empty spaces with zero.

250 .00
-
245 .78
 Subtract from right to left, column by column. Regroup if necessary.

4 9 9 10
250 .00
-
245 .78
004 .22
Subtract the decimal numbers.

 Start with hundredths.

 tenths

 Write the decimal point.

Subtract the whole numbers.

 ones
 tens
 hundreds

So, ₱250.00 – ₱245.78 = ₱4.22.

Therefore, Jacob’s change is ₱4.22.

CO_Q1_Mathematics6_Module6
Now that you are already familiar with the steps on how to subtract decimals
without or with regrouping, you can move on studying the problem below.

Example 1:

Mrs. Aligado has ₱2 457.95 in her purse. Her daughter asked her
to buy their food supply and she spent ₱1 236.05. How much money had
she left?

To solve the problem above, follow these steps:

Understand:

a. What is asked?

Answer: The amount of money that is left.

b. What are the given facts?

Answer: ₱2 457.95 - the money in her purse

₱1 236.05 - the money spent for the food supply

Plan:

a. What is the operation to be used?

Answer: subtraction

b. What is the number sentence?

Answer: ₱2 457.95 – ₱1 236.05 = N

Solve:

Show your computation:

Subtract ₱2 457.95 – ₱1 236.05 = N

1. Line up the decimal points

2457 .95
- 1236 .05

CO_Q1_Mathematics6_Module6
 2. Subtract the numbers. Regroup if needed.

2457 .95
- 1236 .05
1221.90
Answer: ₱1 221.90 is the amount of money left with Mrs. Aligado.

Check:

Example 2:

The cost of apples and grapes is ₱235.50. The grapes cost ₱93.50
more than the apples. Find the cost of the grapes.

To solve the problem above, follow these steps:

Understand:

a. What is asked?

Answer: The cost of the grapes

b. What are the given facts?

Answer: ₱235.50 - the cost of apples and grapes

₱93.50 - the cost of grapes more than the apples
Plan:

a. What is the word/phrase clue?

Answer: cost of the grapes

c. What is the operation to be used?

Answer: subtraction, division and addition

CO_Q1_Mathematics6_Module6
 d. What strategy you are going to use?

Answer: Block Model Strategy

Solve:

To find for the cost of the grapes you will solve the problem by using
the block model strategy.

Apple =
₱235.50
Grapes = ₱93.50

In the illustration above, the total cost of two equal units and the
other bigger unit which is P93.50 is P235.50.

2 of + ₱93.50 = ₱235.50

Notice that out of 3 units, the bigger unit is ₱93.50 while the other 2
equal units don’t have value yet. That’s what you will solve for.

To solve for the 2 equal units, you need to take away ₱93.50 from
₱235.50.

2 of = ₱235.50 – ₱93.50

2 of = ₱142.00

Then, for the value of 1 unit, you need to divide P142.00 by 2.

1 = ₱142.00 ÷ 2

1 = ₱71.00

So, you can say now that each unknown or equal unit is ₱71.00.
This time you place value to each block and solve for the cost of each
fruit.
To get the cost of each fruits, you need to substitute the value of each
unit. For the apples, it is understood that 1 unit is equal to ₱71.00. For
the grapes, add the value of the smaller unit which is ₱71.00 to the
bigger unit which is ₱93.50.

Apples ₱71.00 = ₱71.00

Grapes ₱71.00 ₱93.50 = ₱164.50

Therefore, the cost of grapes is ₱164.50.

10

CO_Q1_Mathematics6_Module6
 Check: This is one way on how to check if the answer is correct.

₱164.50 Cost of the grapes

+
₱ 71.00 Cost of apples
₱235.50 Total cost of apples and grapes

₱164.50 Cost of the grapes

- ₱ 71.00 Cost of apples
₱ 93.50

Therefore, the cost of grapes is ₱93.50 more than the cost of apples.
