\(8.76-2.68=\) _____.
\(8.76-2.68=\) 6.08.
Step 1: Write the numbers so the decimal points line up.
\(8.76\) and \(2.68\)
Step 2: Subtract the hundredths (rightmost digits).
We need \(6 - 8\), which we cannot do. So, borrow \(1\) tenth from the \(7\) tenths.
After borrowing: tenths become \(6\) and hundredths become \(16\).
Now subtract: \(16 - 8 = 8\) hundredths.
Step 3: Subtract the tenths.
Now we have \(6 - 6 = 0\) tenths.
Step 4: Subtract the ones.
\(8 - 2 = 6\) ones.
So, \(8.76 - 2.68 = 6.08\).
