Answer:

B. Is the correct way to show the problem.

Explanation:

A: The number line is useless. It shows working backwards from the answer. You want to show how the answer was obtained. + goes right - goes left. Not A. This actually shows 1.1 - 0.8 - 0.3

C: C shows 0.8 - 0.3. Remember + goes right - goes left.

D: D is wrong. It shows 0.3 to 1.1 and then 0.3 back to 0.8. You are not doing that.
