The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of subtracting 59.63 from 92.4, we will follow these steps: **Step 1: Write the numbers in a column format.** - Align the numbers by their decimal points. - Write 92.4 as 92.40 to have the same number of decimal places. ``` 92.40 - 59.63 ``` **Step 2: Subtract the numbers starting from the rightmost column (the hundredths place).** - In the hundredths place, we have 0 (from 92.40) minus 3 (from 59.63). Since we cannot subtract 3 from 0, we need to borrow 1 from the tenths place. - This makes the tenths place 3 (from 4, we borrowed 1) and the hundredths place becomes 10 (0 + 10). - Now we can subtract: 10 - 3 = 7. **Step 3: Move to the tenths place.** - Now we have 3 (after borrowing) minus 6. Again, we cannot subtract 6 from 3, so we need to borrow 1 from the units place. - This makes the units place 8 (from 9, we borrowed 1) and the tenths place becomes 13 (3 + 10). - Now we can subtract: 13 - 6 = 7. **Step 4: Move to the units place.** - Now we have 8 (after borrowing) minus 9. We cannot subtract 9 from 8, so we need to borrow again. - This makes the hundreds place 0 (from 9, we borrowed 1) and the units place becomes 18 (8 + 10). - Now we can subtract: 18 - 9 = 9. **Step 5: Write down the result.** - After performing all the subtractions, we have: ``` 92.40 - 59.63 --------- 32.77 ``` Thus, the result of subtracting 59.63 from 92.4 is **32.77**. ---
