We start by saying that $1.9 - 0.8 = 1.1$ $1.9-0.8=1.1$

Explanation:

Since there is one digit behind the decimal point, we are talinking about 10ths, so:
$1.1 = 1 + 0.1 = 1 + \frac{1}{10} = 1 \frac{1}{10}$ $1.1=1+0.1=1+1/10=1 1/10$

Or:
$1.1 = 11 \times 0.1 = \frac{11}{10}$ $1.1=11xx0.1=11/10$

$\frac{11}{10}$ $11/10$

Explanation:

$1.9 - 0.8$ $1.9-0.8$ = $\frac{19}{10} - \frac{8}{10}$ $19/10 - 8/10$

= $\frac{11}{10}$ $11/10$
