What is to be subtracted from 7.3 to get 0.08?


Fast

Answer 1

7.22 is to be subtracted from 7.3 to get 0.08

Step 1:

Assume that x need to be subtracted from 7.3 to get 0.08

Step 2:

Subtract x from 7.3 to get 0.08

7.3 - x = 0.08

Step 3:

Transpose x and 0.08

7.3 - 0.08 = x

Step 4:

Perform the subtraction 7.3 - 0.08

7.22 = x

Step 5:

Exchange the sides

x=7.22

Hence, 7.22 is to be subtracted from 7.3 to get 0.08

Answer 2

Given: Number to be subtracted from(minuend)= 7.3

            Number to be subtracted by from above number(difference)=0.08

To find  A number to be subtracted from 7.3 to get 0.08. (subtrahend)

Solution:

What is subtraction?

• The operation that tells about the removal of certain things from a pile is called the subtraction operation.
• It is related to positive numbers, decimals, negative numbers, fractions, matrices, vectors, and irrational numbers.

From above minuend=7.3 and difference=0.08

We know that  difference=minuend-subtrahend

                      ⇒subtrahend=minuend-difference

                      ⇒subtrahend=7.3-0.08

                                            =7.22

Hence, 7.22 is to be subtracted from 7.3 to get 0.08.
