Evaluate. 57.348-6.332=

Aligning the Numbers: Align the numbers vertically by their decimal points. We need to align the numbers 57.348 and 6.332 so that their decimal points are in a vertical line. This will help us subtract the numbers correctly.Subtracting Digit by Digit: Subtract the numbers starting from the rightmost digit and moving to the left. We perform the subtraction column by column, starting from the rightmost digit (the thousandths place) and moving to the left. If necessary, we borrow from the next column to the left. 57.348 - 6.332 ________ 51.016Checking for Errors: Check for any math errors. We should double-check our subtraction to ensure there are no mistakes. We can do this by adding the result (51.016) to the subtracted number (6.332) to see if we get the original number (57.348). 51.016 + 6.332 = 57.348 Since the addition checks out, there are no math errors.
