Question

How would you solve 5- 16 tenths

Answer 1

For this case, the first thing we must do is rewrite the given expression.

We must take into account the following numerical factor.

$tenths = 0.1$

Therefore, we have:

$16 tenths = 16 (0.1)\\16 tenths = 1.6$

So, rewriting the given expression we have:

$5 - 1.6 = 3.4$

Answer:

The result of 5-16 tenths is:

$3.4$

Answer 2

16 tenths = 1.6 
5 - 1.6= 3.4
