Let's solve the exercise in order:
We'll first subtract the hundreds after the decimal point:
Next, we'll subtract the tenths after the decimal point:
Finally, we'll subtract the whole numbers before the decimal point accordingly:
Therefore:
22
Choose the correct writing form:
The zeros show place value! 33.10 has 1 tenth and 0 hundredths, while 33.1 looks different but means the same thing. Including zeros helps you align columns correctly during subtraction.
No! That changes the actual values completely. 33.10 means thirty-three and one tenth, not three thousand three hundred ten. Always keep the decimal point in the same position.
Start from the rightmost column (hundredths place) and work left, just like regular subtraction. Think: hundredths, then tenths, then ones, then tens.
Both are correct! . The trailing zeros after the decimal point don't change the value, but they show you worked with hundredths place precision.
