Solution - Long subtraction
0.35
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 9 | . | 4 | 4 | |
| - | 9 | . | 0 | 9 |
| . |
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 (4) in the next number place which becomes (3) and get (14).
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 3 | 14 | |||
| 9 | . | 4 | 4 | |
| - | 9 | . | 0 | 9 |
| . |
Subtract the numbers in the hundredths column from the top number:
14-9=5
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 3 | 14 | |||
| 9 | . | 4 | 4 | |
| - | 9 | . | 0 | 9 |
| . | 5 |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
3-0=3
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 3 | 14 | |||
| 9 | . | 4 | 4 | |
| - | 9 | . | 0 | 9 |
| . | 3 | 5 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
9-9=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 3 | 14 | |||
| 9 | . | 4 | 4 | |
| - | 9 | . | 0 | 9 |
| 0 | . | 3 | 5 |
The solution is: 0.35
