Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Subtracting decimal numbers: To solve this problem, we need to subtract the second decimal number from the first one. We align the decimal points and subtract as we would with whole numbers, borrowing if necessary. 3.05 -0.338 _____Borrowing from the hundredths place: Starting from the right, we subtract 8 from 0. Since we cannot subtract a larger number from a smaller one, we need to borrow from the 5 in the hundredths place.Subtracting after borrowing: After borrowing, we have 10 in the thousandths place and 4 in the hundredths place (since 5 becomes 4 after borrowing). Now we can subtract 8 from 10, which gives us 2 in the thousandths place. 3.05 becomes 2.92 (after borrowing) -0.338 _______ 2.712Subtracting in the hundredths place: Next, we subtract 3 from 4 in the hundredths place, which gives us 1 in the hundredths place.Subtracting in the tenths place: Finally, we subtract 0 from 2 in the tenths place, which remains 2 in the tenths place.Writing down the decimal point: We write down the decimal point in the answer directly below the decimal points in the numbers above.Final answer: The final answer is 2.712.
