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
