• A. $1.216$
• B. $1.206$
• C. $1.106$
• D. $1.207$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1.206$

First, we convert the given decimals into like fractions with the denominator as $1000$.
$0.604=\frac{604}{1000}$

$1.81=1.810=\frac{1810}{1000}$

$1.81-0.604=\frac{1810}{1000}-\frac{604}{1000}$

$=\frac{(1810-604)}{1000}$

$=\frac{\left(1206\right)}{1000}=1.206$

$\therefore 1.81-0.604=1.206$
