To evaluate the expression \( 9.3 - 0.12 \):
First, align the numbers with the decimal points:
9.30
- 0.12
-------
Now, subtract:
- In the hundredths place: \( 0 - 2 = 8 \) (we need to borrow from the tenths)
- In the tenths place: \( 2 - 1 = 1 \)
- In the units place: \( 9 - 0 = 9 \)
So, \( 9.30 - 0.12 = 9.18 \).
Now, let's express \( 9.18 \) in the options given. None of the options directly match \( 9.18 \). The correct answer, expressed as a number, is simply \( 9.18 \).
Given the options:
- 077.5
- 07.75
- 0775
- 0.0775
None of these options are correct representations of \( 9.18 \). If this is a calculation exercise, please verify the provided options as they do not reflect the correct result of the subtraction.
