UNIT 14: DECIMAL SUBTRACTION
Decimal subtraction is similar to decimal addition. You
write down both decimals one above the other with their decimal points lined up. Then you just substract as you would 2 whole numbers, with borrows if necessary, but you bring down the decimal point like you did with decimal addition.
EXAMPLES:
23.06
- 14.07
8.99
|
1.44
- 0.06
1.38
|
2.3
- 0.8
1.5
|
|
Subtract these decimals: (Allow me to line up the first one!)
| 1) |
2.3 - 1.1 =
|
2) |
44.2 - .2
|
| 3) |
9.31 - 1.2
|
4) |
6.66 - 4.48 |
| 5) |
16.23 - 1.4 |
6) |
1.06 - .1 |
| 7) |
144.2 - 128.3 |
8) |
29 - 1.4 |
| 9) |
14.4 - 13.9 |
10) |
18.1 - 1.44 |
| 11) |
32.6 - 2.88 |
12) |
