To rewrite the problem vertically and solve it, we can set it up like this:
7.21
- 6.10
Now, let's subtract step by step:
-
Start from the rightmost column (hundredths place):
- 1 (from 7.21) - 0 (from 6.10) = 1
-
Move to the tenths place:
- 2 (from 7.21) - 1 (from 6.10) = 1
-
Move to the units place:
- 7 (from 7.21) - 6 (from 6.10) = 1
Putting it all together, we have:
7.21
- 6.10
-------
1.11
Thus, the final answer is 1.11.
