Answer 1

I believe Jodi's picture would look like this:

Answer 2

1.39

Explanation:

In the first picture a representation of 3.14 and 1.75 is shown, where squares represent ones, lines represent tenth and circles represent hundredths.

There are not enough circles in the minuend, so one tenth is transformed into 10 hundredths, then the subtraction of hundredths is made (see second picture).

There are not enough lines in the minuend, so one ones is transformed into 10 tenths, then the subtraction of tenths is made (see third picture).

Finally the subtraction of ones is made (see fourth picture).
