first you line up the decimals then you subtract them 3.13-.9=3.4

You would have to line up your decimals you would put the nine under the one you put a zero after it the you subtract and your answer will be 2.23 so 3.13-.9 will equal 2.

you line up the decimals put 0 in the blank spots and then you subtract it.
3.13-.9=2.23. you make the one an eleven and make the three a two .

what you do first is you line up the decimals and then you subtract 3.13 - .9 and you need to add zeros and then you subtract and you should get 2.23. when you get them lined up 3 - 0 is 3 and then you can not do 1 - 9 you need to take a hole number from the 3 and make it a 3 then make the 1 a 11 and now 11 - 9 = 2 then you add the decimal and now 2 - 0 is 2 and the answer is 2.23

First, you would have to line up the problem. Make sure you have your decimals lined up together or the problem would not work. If you did that, then you would of saw that there are spaces that are not filled in. When there are spaces that are not filled in, you have to add zeroes. Now that you've added zeroes, you are ready to work out the problem!
So, 3 minus 0 is three,
then you can't do one minus nine so you borrow from the three to the left to the left of the 1. The tree turns into 2 and the 1 turns into 11 and 11 minus 9 is 2 then 2 minus zero is 2. The final answer you should get is 2.23. Bye!

You would line up your decimal and subtract 9-1 you cant do that so you take one form 3 and it turns to two and add that 1 to 1 and its 11-9 and that's 2 and you take away 0 from everything else you get 2.23.

The first thing you need to do is line up your decimals, put the .9 under the .1 in the .13. next add a zero

3.13-.9=2.23

3.13
-0.90
_____
2.23
First, you line up the numbers (3.13 & .9). If you see any blank spaces, fill it in with zeros. So the .9 will look like 0.90. Now, you subtract .13-.90. You can't do that right? So, you get the whole number 3 and subtract it to 2 so the 1 in .13 becomes 11.

First, you have to LINE UP THE DECIMALS! then you put 0ś under 3. and under .03 . When you subtract, you should get 2.23.

You line up the decimals like this 3.13
- .90

. Then you have to put a zero below the 3 in 13. Then you subtract 3.13 - .90. You do 3 - 0 which is 3. Then you can't do 1 -9 so you borrow from the three and make it a 2 and make the 1 change to 11. Then you do 11 - 9 which equals 2, so put 2. Then next you do 2 -- 0 because its blank so there is a zero there. You do 2 because you borrowed to get the 11 so do 2-0 and you get 2. Then bring your decimal down and you get 2.23.

First you would have to line up the decimals since it is subtraction. Then fill in the blank places with 0´s. 3-3=0, 1 turns into 11 so you have to cross out 3 and turn it into 1. 11-3=7, and 2-0=2. So, you´re answer should be 2.23

First you put 1.13 on top then .9 on the bottom. Next you line up your decimals with the decimals up and down from each other. Then you add the zeros to the missing places. Last you subtract, and since you have decimals you bring the decimal down where the other two decimals are. The final answer is, 2.23

you would line up the decimals then add zeros under the 3 and 3 then take 0 from 3 which is three then you would take 9 from 1 wich you can not do so you make the 3 a two and make the 1 an 11 then you take 9 from 11 and get 2 then bring down your decimal and then do 2 take away 0 which is 2 and your answer would be 2.23

First you line up your decimals. Next do 3-0=3. Now in order to subtract 9 from 1 you have to borrow from the tenths which makes the 1 a 11 and make the 3 in the ones place a 2. Now since you have a 3 then 1 then a decimal you can subtract 0 from 2 which equals 2. Your final answer is 2.13.

you sutract 3.13 - 9

so what you do is line your decimals up like this
then you subtract 9 - 3 but you cant do that so you need to take one away from the the one next to the three which the one will change to a zero and then change the 3 to a 13 now you can subtract it which will be 4 so now you bring your decimal down so now the answer is 3.14

3.13
- 9

3.13
-.90
First you have to line up the decimals and then if you have nothing under the 3 then you put a zero then you subtract. First you would do 3-0 and get 3 then 1-9 and you can't do 1-9 so you borrow you change the 1 to and 11 and you can subtract that and you would get 2 then since you borrowed then you have to make the 3 a 2 and you would get 2. So your final answer would be 2.23.

First write down the problem 3.13-.9 up and down and line up your decimals. subtract up 3 from 0 and you get 3. you cant subtract 1 from 9 so borrow one from the 3 and the 3 will become a 2. the 1 will become an 11 and then do 11 minus 9 and you get 2. then do 2 minus 0 and you get 2. bring your decimal straight down and your answer is 2.23 (two and twenty three hundreths

first you have to line up the decimals becuase it is subtracting and then you have to Subtract after you do that you get 34 then you put your decimal then you get 3.4

First you line up the decimals then you add the zeros where there aren't any numbers. After that you solve three minus zero is 3 you cant take one from nine so you borrow from the three, so the three becomes a two and the one becomes 11 then 11 minus 9 is 2. After that you add your decimal and then you do 2 minus 0 which is 2 so, your final answer is 2.23.

Nic 17 3.13-.9=

2017-03-15 15:48:53 UTC

first you line up the decimals so it looks like this=3.13
- 0.90
Then you subtract 3 by 0 which is 3, and then since you can't subtract 1-9...you turn 3 into two and 1 into 11. 11-9=2 and 2-0=2. you carry the decimal and now your answer is 2.23.

The first thing you need to do is line your decimals up. Next thing you do is subtract it, you will have to take the numbers and subtract and you will get 2.23

first you line your decimals 3.13
.9
_______
.4
then you subtract .13 by .9= 4 then you add your 3.
and you got 3.4

first you have to line up your decimal then subract them and then count down to the right with your decimal and then with the answer count down the number of decimals and then get your answer
