Evaluate. 39.1-0.794=

Align Numbers Vertically: First, align the numbers vertically by their decimal points to ensure proper subtraction of the decimal values. 39.1 - 0.794 We will need to add zeros to make the decimal places equal for subtraction.Add Zeros for Clarity: Now, rewrite the problem with the added zeros for clarity. 39.100 - 0.794 Next, subtract the numbers starting from the rightmost decimal place, moving towards the left.Perform Decimal Subtraction: Perform the subtraction for each decimal place: 0 - 4 cannot be done, so we borrow from the next decimal place. 10 - 4 = 6 9 becomes 8 because we borrowed 1, and then 8 - 9 cannot be done, so we borrow from the whole number. 18 - 9 = 9 Now, the whole number 1 becomes 0 because we borrowed 1, and then 0 - 0 = 0. Finally, subtract the whole numbers: 38 - 0 = 38.Subtract Whole Numbers: Combine the results of the subtraction to get the final answer: 38.096

Q. Evaluate.

\newline

39.1-0.794=

Align Numbers Vertically: First, align the numbers vertically by their decimal points to ensure proper subtraction of the decimal values. $\newline$ $39.1$ $\newline$ $- 0.794$ $\newline$ We will need to add zeros to make the decimal places equal for subtraction.
Add Zeros for Clarity: Now, rewrite the problem with the added zeros for clarity. $\newline$ $39.100$ $\newline$ $- 0.794$ $\newline$ Next, subtract the numbers starting from the rightmost decimal place, moving towards the left.
Perform Decimal Subtraction: Perform the subtraction for each decimal place: $\newline$ $0 - 4$ cannot be done, so we borrow from the next decimal place. $\newline$ $10 - 4 = 6$ $\newline$ $9$ becomes $8$ because we borrowed $1$ , and then $8 - 9$ cannot be done, so we borrow from the whole number. $\newline$ $18 - 9 = 9$ $\newline$ Now, the whole number $1$ becomes $0$ because we borrowed $1$ , and then $10 - 4 = 6$ $0$ . $\newline$ Finally, subtract the whole numbers: $10 - 4 = 6$ $1$ .
Subtract Whole Numbers: Combine the results of the subtraction to get the final answer: $38.096$
