To solve \(0.6 - 0.08\):
-
Align the numbers by their decimal points:
0.60 -0.08 ------
-
Subtract:
Starting from the rightmost digit:
- In the hundredths place: \(0 - 8\) requires borrowing from the tenths place. So, we turn \(0.60\) into \(0.50\) and add \(10\) to the hundredths place, making it \(10 - 8 = 2\).
- Now in the tenths place: \(5 - 0 = 5\).
- In the whole number place: \(0 - 0 = 0\).
-
Put it all together:
0.60 -0.08 ------ 0.52
So, \(0.6 - 0.08 = 0.52\).
