Solve the Decimal Subtraction: 1 - 0.2 Step by Step

Question

$1-0.2=$

00:00 Solve

00:04 We will use long subtraction for calculation

00:08 We'll place 0 and the decimal point in the appropriate place

00:14 We'll borrow from the larger digit to subtract

00:17 The larger digit will decrease by 1, and our digit will increase by 10

00:29 Now we'll subtract from the larger number and place

00:41 We'll continue to subtract and place accordingly

00:48 And this is the solution to the question

To solve this problem, we'll perform the following steps:

$1.0$
$- 0.2$
$----$

Perform the subtraction, starting from the rightmost digit (the tenths place since decimals are aligned):

$0.0$ in the tenths place subtract $0.2$ results in $0.8$ .

In the ones place, there is no further subtraction, simply keeping the placed zero.

Overall, the subtraction $1 - 0.2$ results in $0.8$ .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $0.8$ .

0.8
