Soluzione - Long subtraction
42,5
Spiegazione passo passo
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 5 | 5 | |||
| - | 1 | 2 | , | 5 |
| , |
Put zeros in the blank number places:
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 5 | 5 | , | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 2 | , | 5 |
| , |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (0) in the tenths column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (5) in the next number place which becomes (4) and get (10).
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 4 | 10 | |||
| 5 | 5 | , | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 2 | , | 5 |
| , |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
10-0-5=5
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 4 | 10 | |||
| 5 | 5 | , | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 2 | , | 5 |
| , | 5 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
4-2=2
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 4 | 10 | |||
| 5 | 5 | , | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 2 | , | 5 |
| 2 | , | 5 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
5-1=4
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths |
| 4 | 10 | |||
| 5 | 5 | , | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 2 | , | 5 |
| 4 | 2 | , | 5 |
The solution is: 42,5
