To evaluate the expression \( 6.9 - 2^0 \), we first need to calculate \( 2^0 \).

Any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Therefore,

\[ 2^0 = 1 \]

Now we can substitute that back into the original expression:

\[ 6.9 - 2^0 = 6.9 - 1 \]

Performing the subtraction:

\[ 6.9 - 1 = 5.9 \]

Thus, the value of \( 6.9 - 2^0 \) is \( 5.9 \).

So the answer is:

5.9
