| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 1 | . | 9 | 6 | 9 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the thousandths column from the top number:
9-0=9
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 1 | . | 9 | 6 | 9 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . | 9 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundredths column from the top number:
6-0=6
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 1 | . | 9 | 6 | 9 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . | 6 | 9 |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
9-0=9
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 1 | . | 9 | 6 | 9 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . | 9 | 6 | 9 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
1-1=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 1 | . | 9 | 6 | 9 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | . | 9 | 6 | 9 |
The solution is: 0.969
