Well, let's think of this like painting a happy little picture. If we have three and three tenths, and we take away one and eleven fifteenths, we simply need to borrow a bit from the whole numbers and regroup the fractions. So, when we subtract, we get one and four hundred and thirty-nine fiftieths. Just like that, we've created a beautiful new number!

To write eleven and three tenths in standard form, you would represent the whole number part (eleven) as 11 and the decimal part (three tenths) as 0.3. Therefore, in standard form, eleven and three tenths would be written as 11.3.
Eleven and three tenths (11.3) in expanded form is: (1 x 10) + (1 x 1) + (3/10)
11.3
3/10 + 8/15 = 9/30 + 16/30 = 25/30 = 5/6
Convert to same types to give six tenths and five tenths. That is eleven tenths. That is one and one tenth or 1.1 in decimal.
