Question
What is 3.125−1.6
?(1 point)

Answer 1

To calculate \( 3.125 - 1.6 \):

First, align the numbers by their decimal points:

```
3.125
- 1.600
```

Now, subtract starting from the right:

- In the thousandths place: \( 5 - 0 = 5 \)
- In the hundredths place: \( 2 - 0 = 2 \)
- In the tenths place: \( 1 - 6 \) (we need to borrow, turning the 3 into a 2 and making the 1 into \( 1 + 10 = 11 \)):
- \( 11 - 6 = 5 \)
- In the units place: \( 2 - 1 = 1 \)
- In the whole number place: \( 3 - 1 = 2 \)

Putting that together, we get:

```
3.125
- 1.600
_________
1.525
```

Thus, the answer is \( 1.525 \).
