Sure! Let’s solve each decimal subtraction problem step by step, aligning the decimal points and subtracting digit by digit, borrowing when necessary.

Problem 1: 4.27 – 2.62
```
4.27
- 2.62
-------
```
Start from the right:
- Hundredths: 7 – 2 = 5
- Tenths: 2 – 6 → can’t do, so borrow 1 from the units place.
- 12 – 6 = 6 (tenths)
- Units become 3 (after borrowing)
- Units: 3 – 2 = 1
✔ Answer: 1.65

Problem 2: 7.36 – 5.91
```
7.36
- 5.91
-------
```
- Hundredths: 6 – 1 = 5
- Tenths: 3 – 9 → borrow 1 from units → 13 – 9 = 4
- Units: 6 (after borrow) – 5 = 1
✔ Answer: 1.45

Problem 3: 8.03 – 4.28
```
8.03
- 4.28
-------
```
- Hundredths: 3 – 8 → borrow → 13 – 8 = 5
- Tenths: 0 becomes 9 (after borrow), then 9 – 2 = 7
- Units: 7 (after borrow) – 4 = 3
✔ Answer: 3.75

Problem 4: 5.25 – 1.44
```
5.25
- 1.44
-------
```
- Hundredths: 5 – 4 = 1
- Tenths: 2 – 4 → borrow → 12 – 4 = 8
- Units: 4 (after borrow) – 1 = 3
✔ Answer: 3.81

Problem 5: 9.89 – 3.51
```
9.89
- 3.51
-------
```
- Hundredths: 9 – 1 = 8
- Tenths: 8 – 5 = 3
- Units: 9 – 3 = 6
✔ Answer: 6.38
---
Problem 6: 6.29 – 5.24
```
6.29
- 5.24
-------
```
- Hundredths: 9 – 4 = 5
- Tenths: 2 – 2 = 0
- Units: 6 – 5 = 1
✔ Answer: 1.05
---
Problem 7: 6.44 – 2.83
```
6.44
- 2.83
-------
```
- Hundredths: 4 – 3 = 1
- Tenths: 4 – 8 → borrow → 14 – 8 = 6
- Units: 5 (after borrow) – 2 = 3
✔ Answer: 3.61
---
Problem 8: 8.16 – 5.27
```
8.16
- 5.27
-------
```
- Hundredths: 6 – 7 → borrow → 16 – 7 = 9
- Tenths: 1 becomes 0, then borrow again → 10 – 2 = 8? Wait — actually:
- After first borrow, tenths digit is 0, need to borrow from units → becomes 10, but then we need to give 1 to hundredths, so tenths becomes 9.
- Then 9 – 2 = 7
- Units: 7 (after borrow) – 5 = 2
✔ Answer: 2.89
---
Problem 9: 6.29 – 3.82
```
6.29
- 3.82
-------
```
- Hundredths: 9 – 2 = 7
- Tenths: 2 – 8 → borrow → 12 – 8 = 4
- Units: 5 (after borrow) – 3 = 2
✔ Answer: 2.47
