Example Question #1 : Subtracting Multi Digit Decimals

Find the difference.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Finding a difference means to subtract.  

In the hundredths column, we can easily subtract 

In the tenths column we must borrow from the 7 (making it 6) and also making the 2 a 12.  Now we can subtract 

Finally in the ones column we can subtract 

Thus the final answer is 1.43.
