Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 0 | . | 6 | 1 | 5 | |
| - | 0 | . | 3 | 9 | 3 |
| . |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the thousandths column from the top number:
5-3=2
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 0 | . | 6 | 1 | 5 | |
| - | 0 | . | 3 | 9 | 3 |
| . | 2 |
Because the upper digit (1) in the hundredths column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (6) in the next number place which becomes (5) and get (11).
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 5 | 11 | ||||
| 0 | . | 6 | 1 | 5 | |
| - | 0 | . | 3 | 9 | 3 |
| . | 2 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundredths column from the top number:
11-9=2
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 5 | 11 | ||||
| 0 | . | 6 | 1 | 5 | |
| - | 0 | . | 3 | 9 | 3 |
| . | 2 | 2 |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
5-3=2
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 5 | 11 | ||||
| 0 | . | 6 | 1 | 5 | |
| - | 0 | . | 3 | 9 | 3 |
| . | 2 | 2 | 2 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 5 | 11 | ||||
| 0 | . | 6 | 1 | 5 | |
| - | 0 | . | 3 | 9 | 3 |
| 0 | . | 2 | 2 | 2 |
The solution is: 0.222
