To find the blank in the equation \( 5.26 - \text{blank} = 1.38 \), you can subtract 1.38 from 5.26:
\[
\text{blank} = 5.26 - 1.38
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
5.26 - 1.38 = 3.88
\]
So, the blank equals 3.88.
Now, we need to check if 3.12 makes the equation true or false:
Since 3.12 is not equal to 3.88, we can conclude that the statement "5.26 minus 3.12 equals 1.38" is **false**.
