To find the difference between \(47.08\) and \(0.39\), you can perform the subtraction as follows:
\[ 47.08 - 0.39 \]
Align the numbers by the decimal point:
47.08
- 0.39
Now subtract:
-
Subtract the hundredths: \(8 - 9\) cannot be done without borrowing, so we borrow \(1\) from the tenths, making it \(7\) in the tenths place and turning the \(8\) into \(18\).
Now the hundredths subtraction looks like: \(18 - 9 = 9\).
-
Next, subtract the tenths: \(7 - 3 = 4\).
-
Finally, subtract the whole numbers: \(47 - 0 = 47\).
Putting it all together, we get:
\[ 47.08 - 0.39 = 46.69 \]
So, the result is:
\[ \boxed{46.69} \]
