Describe the steps you would use to subtract 7.6 from 20.39
Okay Here is my help (:
So you would write it like this
20.39
- 7.60
you always want to make sure that the decimals are lined up !
and its okay to ad a zero to the end to make it more visable.
20.39
- 7.60
_____
so first step is 9-0 which is just 9
you would put the 9 at the bottom
20.39
- 7.60
_____
9
next you would subtract 3-6 which doent work so you need to borrow rom the next number to the left so you need to make the 0 in the 20 a 10 and make the 2 a 1 in the 20 so then it would look like this
1 10
(2 0) . 3 9
- 7 . 6 0
_____
9
then you make the 3 a 13 (:
1 10 13
(2 0) . 3 9
- 7 . 6 0
_____
9
so now whats 13 minus 6 thats 7 so now it would look like this
1 10 13
(2 0) . 3 9
- 7 . 6 0
_____
7 9
then subratc 7 from the 10 which is 3
1 10 13
(2 0) . 3 9
- 7 . 6 0
_____
3 . 7 9
make sure to bring the decimal down
and then cary the 1 back down because theres nothing to subract from 1
so your answer is 13.79 (: i hope this helps i know it an be confusing sometimes (: Don't worry jsut try to think it through
ty-
dont even i got an f
Good job
Thx so much for helping!
To subtract 7.6 from 20.39, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the number 20.39 and below it, write down the number 7.6.
```
20.39
- 7.6
```
Step 2: Start by subtracting the ones (tenths) column. In this case, there is no need to regroup since 9 is larger than 0.
```
20.39
- 7.6
--------
.79
```
Step 3: Next, move to the tenths column. Again, there is no regrouping needed since 3 is larger than 6.
```
20.39
- 7.6
--------
.79
```
Step 4: Finally, subtract the whole numbers column. In this case, there is no regrouping needed since 2 is larger than 0.
```
20.39
- 7.6
--------
12.79
```
Step 5: The result of subtracting 7.6 from 20.39 is 12.79.
Therefore, 20.39 - 7.6 = 12.79.
