Question

Ruby has a bag of raisins that weighs 34.08 g. Lincoln's bag of raisins is 6.43 g lighter than Ruby's. How much does Lincoln's bag of raisins weigh?​

Answer 1

Lincoln's bag weighs 27.65 g

Explanation:

Weight of Ruby's bag = 34.08 g

Lincoln's bag is 6.43 g lighter than Ruby's.

Therefore weight of Lincoln's bag = 34.08g - 6.43 g

To subtract 6. 43 from 34.08

3 4 . 0 8 - 6 . 4 3

First, subtract the hundredth digits

8 - 3 = 5

Subtract the tenth digits

0 - 4 is not possible; borrow 1 from the one's digit which is 4; 3 remains at the one's place

At the tenth place now it is 10 and 10 - 4 = 6

At one place it is 3. Now 33 - 6 = 27

The final answer is 27.65

The weight of Lincoln's bag = 34. 08 - 6. 43 = 27. 65 g
