Example Question #1 : Subtracting Multi Digit Decimals
Find the difference.
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.
