Question

The expression 9.3-0.12 is equivalent to what number? (1 point)

077.5

07.75

0775

0.0775

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( 9.3 - 0.12 \):

First, align the numbers with the decimal points:

```
9.30
- 0.12
-------
```

Now, subtract:

1. In the hundredths place: \( 0 - 2 = 8 \) (we need to borrow from the tenths)
2. In the tenths place: \( 2 - 1 = 1 \)
3. In the units place: \( 9 - 0 = 9 \)

So, \( 9.30 - 0.12 = 9.18 \).

Now, let's express \( 9.18 \) in the options given. None of the options directly match \( 9.18 \). The correct answer, expressed as a number, is simply \( 9.18 \).

Given the options:

- 077.5
- 07.75
- 0775
- 0.0775

None of these options are correct representations of \( 9.18 \). If this is a calculation exercise, please verify the provided options as they do not reflect the correct result of the subtraction.
