2.07
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 3 | . | 6 | 7 | |

7-0=7
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 3 | . | 6 | 7 | |
| - | 1 | . | 6 | 0 |
| . | 7 |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
6-6=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 3 | . | 6 | 7 | |
| - | 1 | . | 6 | 0 |
| . | 0 | 7 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
3-1=2
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 3 | . | 6 | 7 | |
