Question

37.2 - 4.6

Explanation:

Step1: Align decimal points

Write the numbers vertically with decimal points aligned:

$$\begin{align*} 37.2\\ - \ 4.6\\ \hline \end{align*}$$

Step2: Subtract tenths place

Subtract the tenths: \(2 - 6\) is not possible, so borrow 1 from the ones place. The 7 in the ones place becomes 6, and the 2 in the tenths place becomes 12. Then \(12 - 6 = 6\) (tenths place).

Step3: Subtract ones place

Subtract the ones: \(6 - 4 = 2\) (ones place).

Step4: Subtract tens place

Subtract the tens: \(3 - 0 = 3\) (tens place).
So the result is \(32.6\).

Answer:

\(32.6\)
