SUBTRACTION IN DECIMALS

EXAMPLE: Subtract .07295 from 21.651.

21.651

.07295

--------

21.57805 _Ans._

Write the first number under the second, so that the point comes

under the point. Remember that we may consider there are 0’s above

the 9 and 5, since in 21.651 there are no ten-thousandths and no

hundred-thousandths.

Say, mentally 5 and 5 make 10, carry 1. 10 and 0 make 10, carry 1. 3 and

8 make 11, carry 1, etc.
