               SUBTOPIC: Subtraction of Decimals


               Subtraction of decimals:


               The rules for subtraction are:

               o  The smaller number is written under the bigger number.
               o  The numbers are written in such a way that the decimals are in the same vertical
                  line.
               o  Subtraction is started from the right hand side.
               o  Therefore, we can say that, subtraction of decimals can be done by subtracting
                  hundredths from hundredths, tenths from tenths, ones from ones and so on, just
                  as we did in addition.

               o  Subtraction also can be done by arranging the decimal numbers horizontal
                  manner.
