You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(1.6 - 1.43\)

MathBot Answer:

\[1.6 - 1.43 = \frac{17}{100} = 0.17\]


\[\begin{aligned}1.6 - 1.43& = 1 + \frac{6}{10} - \left(1 + \frac{43}{100}\right)\\& = 1 + \frac{3}{5} - \left(1 + \frac{43}{100}\right)\\& = 1 + \frac{3}{5} - \frac{143}{100}\\& = \frac{8}{5} - \frac{143}{100}\\& = \frac{17}{100}\end{aligned}\]
