To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Let's apply these steps to the problem:
1. Write the numbers in a vertical format:
101.23
- 100.10
---------
2. Start subtracting from the rightmost column.
- In the hundredths place, subtract , which equals .
- Move to the tenths place: subtract , which equals .
- Move to the ones place: equals .
- Finally, in the tens place, equals , and in the hundreds place, equals .
3. Combine the digits we calculated by restoring the decimal point placement to get the result:
1.13
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
1.13
\( \text{0.6+0}.5= \)
Adding a zero makes 100.10 which helps you see that the hundredths place has 0. This makes subtraction clearer: 3 - 0 = 3 in the hundredths column!
You would need to borrow from the next column to the left, just like with whole numbers. Fortunately, in this problem 101.23 is larger than 100.10 in every place!
No! Always subtract from right to left (smallest place value first). This ensures borrowing works correctly when you need it.
The decimal point in your answer goes in the same column as the decimal points in the problem. Since we aligned them vertically, it stays in that same position!
Mathematically yes, but 1.13 is the preferred answer because we don't write unnecessary trailing zeros after the decimal point unless specifically required.
