Step-by-step solution for: Decimal Subtraction Worksheets
Problem: Solve the column subtraction problems involving decimals.
#### Solution:
We will solve each subtraction problem step by step. Here are the calculations:

\hline
\end{array}
$$
- Subtract digit by digit from right to left:
- \(7 - 5 = 2\)
- \(2 - 5\) (borrow 1 from the next column): \(12 - 5 = 7\)
- \(2 - 9\) (borrow 1 from the next column): \(12 - 9 = 3\)
- \(7 - 2 = 5\)
$$
\boxed{52.72}
