0.6 − 0.08 =

1 answer

To solve \(0.6 - 0.08\):

  1. Align the numbers by their decimal points:

    0.60
    -0.08
    ------
    
  2. 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: \(0 - 0 = 0\).
  3. Put it all together:

    0.60
    -0.08
    ------
    0.52
    

So, \(0.6 - 0.08 = 0.52\).
