A landscaper needs two bags of dirt for a project. One bag weighs 6.7 pounds, and the other bag weighs 2.6 pounds. What is the difference in the weights of the two bags, in pou

Question

idk how to do this type of math

Answer 1

6.7 - 2.6 = 4.1 pounds difference in the bags' weight

6.7 - 2.6 means 6-2 = 4 pounds

.7-.6 = .1 pounds

4 + .1 = 4.1 pounds difference

6.7

-2.6

4.1

subtract the tens' digits, and subtract the ones' digits. keep them lined up vertically

or just use a calculator. punch in 6.7 then "-" then 2.6, then "answer" on most calculators
