Give the result in simplest form:
Example Question #7 : How To Subtract Fractions
Evaluate:
By order of operations, subtractions and additions are carried out in left-to-right order, so subtract 1.73 from 7.89 first. This is best done vertically, aligning decimal points:
Now add 2.50 to the difference (note that a zero has been added to the end), again aligning vertically by decimal point:
Example Question #1 : How To Subtract Fractions
Evaluate:
Subtract vertically by aligning the decimal points, making sure you append the 8 with a decimal point and two placeholder zeroes:
Example Question #2 : How To Subtract Fractions
Subtract:
Rewrite vertically, lining up the decimal digits. Subtract as you would two integers. (Note that you are appending zeroes to the 19.)
Example Question #3 : How To Subtract Fractions
Subtract
Rewrite the first fraction in eighths, as :
Write vertically:
