Subtracting Decimals with a Number Line
- Use a number line to subtract one decimal from another by jumping backward the right amount.
- Read and place decimals on a number line so you can start and end at the correct points.
- Break a decimal subtraction into smaller steps (like tenths and hundredths) to keep track of each jump.
- Find the difference between two decimals and write the answer with the decimal point in the right place.
