Sagot :

Tony had a rope 8.35 meters long. He cut off 2.6 meters of it. How long was the piece of rope that was left?

Subtraction of decimals

Tony had 8.35m of rope, then he removed/cut off 2.6m of it. Subtract 2.6 from 8.35 by aligning the decimal points and subtracting the numbers normally.

8.35 Add a 0 to 2.6 so that
- 2.60 it will have the same
—————— number of decimals as
5.75 8.35

Bring down 5, borrow from 8 so that 3 will be 13. 13-6 will be 7. Then 7-2=5.

Answer: 5.75 meters of rope was left.

hope this helped
