Transcript text: Subtract. \[ \begin{array}{r} 66 \mathrm{~kL}-24 \mathrm{hL} \\ 66 \mathrm{~kL}-24 \mathrm{hL}=\square \end{array} \] $\square$ kL

Solution

Solution Steps

To solve the subtraction problem, we need to ensure that both quantities are in the same unit before performing the subtraction. Since 1 kiloliter (kL) is equal to 10 hectoliters (hL), we can convert 24 hL to kL. After conversion, we subtract the two quantities to find the result in kL.

Step 1: Convert Units

To perform the subtraction, we first need to convert 24 hectoliters (hL) to kiloliters (kL). Since $1 \, \text{kL} = 10 \, \text{hL}$, we have: \[ 24 \, \text{hL} = \frac{24}{10} \, \text{kL} = 2.4 \, \text{kL} \]

Step 2: Subtract the Quantities

Now that both quantities are in kiloliters, we can subtract them: \[ 66 \, \text{kL} - 2.4 \, \text{kL} = 63.6 \, \text{kL} \]
