Solution - Long subtraction
1.46
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 1 | . | 9 | 4 | |
| - | 0 | . | 4 | 8 |
| . |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (4) in the hundredths column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (9) in the next number place which becomes (8) and get (14).
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 8 | 14 | |||
| 1 | . | 9 | 4 | |
| - | 0 | . | 4 | 8 |
| . |
Subtract the numbers in the hundredths column from the top number:
14-8=6
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 8 | 14 | |||
| 1 | . | 9 | 4 | |
| - | 0 | . | 4 | 8 |
| . | 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
8-4=4
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 8 | 14 | |||
| 1 | . | 9 | 4 | |
| - | 0 | . | 4 | 8 |
| . | 4 | 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
1-0=1
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 8 | 14 | |||
| 1 | . | 9 | 4 | |
| - | 0 | . | 4 | 8 |
| 1 | . | 4 | 6 |
The solution is: 1.46
