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 :

  • 1.7 = 1 unit 7 tenth
  • 1 unit = 10 tenth

Hence,

1.7 = 10 tenth + 7 tenth = 17 tenth

0.8 into tenth

0.8 = 0 unit, 8 tenth = 8 tenth

Therefore ,

  • 1.7 - 0.8 = 17 tenth - 8 tenth = 9 tenth

Hence, 1.7 - 0.8 is 9 tenth.
