If the product of five tenths and two tenths is subtracted from the sum of one tenth and three tenths, what is the difference? : *
A) − 0.30
B) 0.30
C) − 0.60
D) 0.60
Let's calculate each part step by step:
Sum of one tenth and three tenths: 1/10 + 3/10 = 4/10 = 0.4
Product of five tenths and two tenths: 5/10 * 2/10 = 10/100 = 0.1
Now, subtract the product from the sum: 0.4 - 0.1 = 0.3
Therefore, the difference is B) 0.30.
