A) 10.633
B) 5.125
C) 5.85
D) 7.125


B) 5.125
10.975 - 3.15 - 2.7 = 5.125. Again, it is important to line up the decimal points and helpful to add zeros to the blank spaces in each number so each of them has the same amount of characters. It may also be helpful to subtract just 3.15 from 10.975 first and then subtract 2.7 from that result.
