Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 0 | . | 3 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 9 |
| . |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (7) in the hundredths column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (3) in the next number place which becomes (2) and get (17).
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 2 | 17 | |||
| 0 | . | 3 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 9 |
| . |
Subtract the numbers in the hundredths column from the top number:
17-9=8
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 2 | 17 | |||
| 0 | . | 3 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 9 |
| . | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
2-2=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 2 | 17 | |||
| 0 | . | 3 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 9 |
| . | 0 | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 2 | 17 | |||
| 0 | . | 3 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 9 |
| 0 | . | 0 | 8 |
The solution is: 0.08
