1 answer

To find the missing value, we need to subtract 56.35 from 70.1.

Step 1: Subtract the decimal values:
- Subtract the hundredths place: 1 - 5 (Borrowing from the tens place) = 6
- Subtract the tenths place: 0 - 3 (Borrowing from the ones place) = 7
- Subtract the ones place: 7 - 6 = 1

Step 2: Add the whole numbers:
- The whole number part remains the same: 6

Putting it all together: 56.35 - 70.1 = 13.75
