To subtract 2.5 from 5.2, you simply need to subtract the second number from the first. Here are the steps to do this:
1. Start by writing down the first number, which is 5.2.
2. Then write down the second number, which is 2.5.
3. Align the decimal points of both numbers.
4. Begin by subtracting the digit in the ones place. In this case, 5 minus 2 equals 3.
5. Next, subtract the digit in the tenths place. In this case, 2 minus 5 equals -3.
6. Since we have a negative result in the tenths place, we need to borrow from the ones place. Since there are no digits to borrow from, you can simply add a zero in the ones place.
7. Now, perform the subtraction with the borrowed zero. 10 minus 5 equals 5.
8. Therefore, the result of 5.2 minus 2.5 is 2.7.
So, the answer to 5.2 minus 2.5 is 2.7.
