Solve Decimal Subtraction: Calculate 0.5 - 0.3

To solve this problem, we will perform the subtraction of two decimal numbers, $0.5$ and $0.3$.

• Align the numbers by their decimal points:

  $0.5$

  $-0.3$

• Since the numbers are already aligned, subtract the tenths digit of $0.3$ from the tenths digit of $0.5$:

  $5 - 3 = 2$

• Place this result in the tenths position of the answer, resulting in

  $0.2$.

The subtraction of $0.3$ from $0.5$ results in

$0.2$.
