    Mr. House wrote 8 tenths minus 5 hundredths on the board. Maggie said the answer is 3 hundredths because 8 minus 5 is 3. is she correct? Explain

    First let’s identify the given word values:

    => 8 tenths -.8

    => minus 5 hundredths = -.05

    She said that the answer is 3 hundredths =.03

    Solution:

    => 0.8 - 0.05 = 0.75 not 0.03

    why? Because they are in different place value. And 8 tenths =.80 5 hundredths = 0.05
