4.6
-2.8


You go right to left, subtracting the bottom number from the top number. You start with the 6 and the 8. 8 is larger than 6, so we borrow 1 from the adjacent 4, making it into 16. 16-8 is 8, so our left-most number is eight. We then move on to the 4 and the 2. Since we borrowed 1 from the 4, it is now a 3. 3-2 is 1. We now bring down the decimal point in the same position as it is in the other number, leaving us with 1.8


4.6-2.8=1.8
