5
Spiegazione passo passo
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 1 | 2 | , | 5 | |
| 2 | , | 5 | ||
| - | 5 | |||
| , |
Put zeros in the blank number places:
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 1 | 2 | , | 5 | |
| 2 | , | 5 | ||
| - | 5 | , | 0 | |
| , |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
5-5-0=0
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 1 | 2 | , | 5 | |
| 2 | , | 5 | ||
| - | 5 | , | 0 | |
| , | 0 |
Because the upper digit (2) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (1) in the next number place which becomes (0) and get (12).
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 0 | 12 | |||
| 1 | 2 | , | 5 | |
| 2 | , | 5 | ||
| - | 5 | , | 0 | |
| , | 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
12-2-5=5
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 0 | 12 | |||
| 1 | 2 | , | 5 | |
| 2 | , | 5 | ||
| - | 5 | , | 0 | |
| 5 | , | 0 |
Write 0 in the tens place.
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 0 | 12 | |||
| 1 | 2 | , | 5 | |
| 2 | , | 5 | ||
| - | 5 | , | 0 | |
| 0 | 5 | , | 0 |
The solution is: 5
