Before you learn how to subtract like decimals, You must know:
What are Like Decimals ?
What is a Decimal Point ?
How to Find Place Values of Digits in Decimal ?
Learn subtraction of like decimals in the following steps:
Step 1: Write minuend and subtrahend in such a way that decimal point and digit of same place values should be at same vertical order or same place value
Step 2: Do the subtraction as in case of whole numbers
Step 3: Decimal Point of given decimals and answer should be at same vertical order or at same place.
Example - Subtract 2.7 from 9.8
Solution: Steps for subtraction are as follows:
Step 1: Write minuend and subtrahend in such a way that decimal point and digit of same place values should be at same vertical order or same place value and we get
9.8
2.7
Step 2: Do the subtraction as in case of whole numbers and we get:
Subtraction of Digits at tenths place and we get: 8 - 7 = 1
1 is written in the sum at same place value.
Subtraction of Digits at ones place and we get: 9 - 2 = 7
7 is written in the sum at same place value.
Step 3: Decimal Point of given decimals and answer should be at same vertical order or at same place.
Hence on Subtracting 2.7 from 9.8 we get decimal 7.1
