Verify Decimal Subtraction: Is 88.100 - 88.101 Properly Aligned?

Determine whether the exercise is correctly written or not.

The position of the decimal point corresponds.

To determine if the exercise is correctly written, let's ensure the decimal points are aligned properly in the subtraction problem. We have:

• Top number: $88.100$
• Bottom number: $88.101$

We verify that each digit is aligned according to its place value:

• The units column aligns ($8$ above $8$).
• The tenths, hundredths, and thousandths columns align ($0$ above $1$).
• The decimal points are directly above one another.

Since the digits and decimal points are aligned properly according to the rules of subtracting decimal numbers, we can conclude that the setup of the exercise is correct. Therefore, the assertion that "the position of the decimal point corresponds" is True.

In conclusion, the exercise is correctly written regarding the alignment of the decimal point.
