Let’s solve each subtraction problem step by step. We’ll line up the decimals and subtract column by column, borrowing if needed.
---
1. 0.58 - 0.22
Align decimals:
```
0.58
- 0.22
------
```
8 - 2 = 6
5 - 2 = 3
0 - 0 = 0 → so
0.36
✔ Check: 0.22 + 0.36 = 0.58 → correct.
---
2. 0.95 - 0.59
```
0.95
- 0.59
------
```
5 - 9 → can’t do, borrow from 9 (tenths place).
So 15 - 9 = 6
Now tenths: 8 (after borrowing) - 5 = 3
→
0.36
✔ Check: 0.59 + 0.36 = 0.95 → correct.
---
3. 0.99 - 0.66
```
0.99
- 0.66
------
```
9 - 6 = 3
9 - 6 = 3
→
0.33
✔ Check: 0.66 + 0.33 = 0.99 → correct.
---
4. 9.6 - 8.7
Write as:
```
9.6
- 8.7
-----
```
6 - 7 → borrow from 9 → becomes 16 - 7 = 9
Tenths: 8 (after borrow) - 8 = 0
→
0.9
✔ Check: 8.7 + 0.9 = 9.6 → correct.
---
5. 0.92 - 0.46
```
0.92
- 0.46
------
```
2 - 6 → borrow → 12 - 6 = 6
Tenths: 8 - 4 = 4
→
0.46
✔ Check: 0.46 + 0.46 = 0.92 → correct.
---
6. 7.4 - 3.5
```
7.4
- 3.5
-----
```
4 - 5 → borrow → 14 - 5 = 9
Units: 6 - 3 = 3
→
3.9
✔ Check: 3.5 + 3.9 = 7.4 → correct.
---
7. 6.5 - 0.3
```
6.5
- 0.3
-----
```
5 - 3 = 2
6 - 0 = 6
→
6.2
✔ Check: 0.3 + 6.2 = 6.5 → correct.
---
8. 0.66 - 0.25
```
0.66
- 0.25
------
```
6 - 5 = 1
6 - 2 = 4
→
0.41
✔ Check: 0.25 + 0.41 = 0.66 → correct.
---
9. 0.38 - 0.06
```
0.38
- 0.06
------
```
8 - 6 = 2
3 - 0 = 3
→
0.32
✔ Check: 0.06 + 0.32 = 0.38 → correct.
---
10. 0.75 - 0.09
```
0.75
- 0.09
------
```
5 - 9 → borrow → 15 - 9 = 6
Tenths: 6 (after borrow) - 0 = 6
→
0.66
✔ Check: 0.09 + 0.66 = 0.75 → correct.
---
11. 8.3 - 3.4
```
8.3
- 3.4
-----
```
3 - 4 → borrow → 13 - 4 = 9
Units: 7 - 3 = 4
→
4.9
✔ Check: 3.4 + 4.9 = 8.3 → correct.
---
12. 0.38 - 0.18
```
0.38
- 0.18
------
```
8 - 8 = 0
3 - 1 = 2
→
0.20 or just
0.2
✔ Check: 0.18 + 0.20 = 0.38 → correct.
---
13. 7.3 - 3.8
```
7.3
- 3.8
-----
```
3 - 8 → borrow → 13 - 8 = 5
Units: 6 - 3 = 3
→
3.5
✔ Check: 3.8 + 3.5 = 7.3 → correct.
---
14. 0.55 - 0.20
```
0.55
- 0.20
------
```
5 - 0 = 5
5 - 2 = 3
→
0.35
✔ Check: 0.20 + 0.35 = 0.55 → correct.
---
15. 9.0 - 6.1
Write as:
```
9.0
- 6.1
-----
```
0 - 1 → borrow → 10 - 1 = 9
Units: 8 - 6 = 2
→
2.9
✔ Check: 6.1 + 2.9 = 9.0 → correct.
---
