Solution - Long subtraction
0.8
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
Place value | ones | . | tenths |
1 | . | 4 | |
- | 0 | . | 6 |
. |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (4) in the tenths column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (1) in the next number place which becomes (0) and get (14).
Place value | ones | . | tenths |
0 | 14 | ||
1 | . | 4 | |
- | 0 | . | 6 |
. |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
14-6=8
Place value | ones | . | tenths |
0 | 14 | ||
1 | . | 4 | |
- | 0 | . | 6 |
. | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
0-0=0
Place value | ones | . | tenths |
0 | 14 | ||
1 | . | 4 | |
- | 0 | . | 6 |
0 | . | 8 |
The solution is: 0.8
