Mark (✓) against the correct answer
What should be subtracted from .1 to get .04?

(a) 0.6
(b) 0.06
(c) 0.006
(d) none of these

Answer 1

(b) 0.06
We have:
0.1 − x = 0.04
⇒ x = 0.1 − 0.04
Converting the given decimals into like decimals, we get:
0.10 and 0.04
Thus, required number = (0.10 − 0.04) = 0.06
Hence, 0.06 should be subtracted from 0.1 to get 0.04.
