1.7-0.8= Tenths- Tenths= Tenths=

Answer:
0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]1.7 - 0.8[/tex]
In 1.7, 1 is in once place and 7 is in tenths place
1.7 has 1 ones and 7 tenths = 17 tenths
0.8 has 8 tenths
Now we subtract it
[tex]1.7 - 0.8=17 \ tenths - 8 \ tenths=9\ tenths[/tex]
9 tenths = 9 times 1/10
So 9 tenths = 0.9 in decimals
[tex]1.7 - 0.8=17 \ tenths - 8 \ tenths=9\ tenths=0.9[/tex]
The expression is equivalent to : 17 tenth - 8 tenth = 9 tenth
To perform the subtraction operation, we need to convert the values into tenths :
Hence,
1.7 = 10 tenth + 7 tenth = 17 tenth
0.8 into tenth
0.8 = 0 unit, 8 tenth = 8 tenth
Therefore ,
Hence, 1.7 - 0.8 is 9 tenth.
