Exercise 14 Page 56

To subtract decimals, line up the decimal points so that place-value positions correspond.

97.1

Practice makes perfect

Before we find the exact difference, we can make an estimate by rounding each number. We will round 201.7 to 200 and 104.6 to 105 because they are the closest whole numbers. 200-105=95

The difference between 201.7 and 104.6 is about 95. To subtract decimals, we line up the decimal points so that place-value positions correspond.

decimal points aligned

Now we subtract the decimals just as we would with whole numbers and place the decimal point in the answer.

Our answer 97.1 is really close to our estimation!
