Question

use the hundredths to add or subtract
2.73 - 0.94

Answer 1

To perform the subtraction \(2.73 - 0.94\), you can line up the numbers by their decimal points:

```
2.73
- 0.94
```

Now, subtract starting from the rightmost digit:

1. Subtract the hundredths place: \(3 - 4\). Since 3 is less than 4, you need to borrow 1 from the tenths place (making it 6). Now you have \(13 - 4 = 9\).
2. Subtract the tenths place: \(6 - 9\). Again, since 6 is less than 9, you need to borrow 1 from the units place (making it 1). Now you have \(16 - 9 = 7\).
3. Subtract the units place: \(1 - 0 = 1\).

Now, putting it all together, you get:

```
2.73
- 0.94
------
1.79
```

So, \(2.73 - 0.94 = 1.79\).
