Finding the difference between decimals is either viewed as a humongous or simple task. It all depends on if the place value above is greater than the place value below. You will need to use good and clean Penmanship to complete these problems well. Start by writing the problem vertically (one on top of the other). Make certain that the decimal point and all the place values line up. If they have a few empty place values to the right of the decimal point, replace them with zeroes. The last step is subtracting each value right to left. You will mostly likely need to borrow values as the decimals get larger. Just take your time and check your answers.
