I'm not sure I understand the question?

anonymous · Answer

Weird way to teach regrouping or borrowing.

anonymous · Answer

You would rename 1 one 3 tenths as 13 tenths to subtract 9 tenths

anonymous · Answer

when you subtract that number is 1.25

anonymous · Answer

I don't the answer about the rename

asnaseer · Answer

1.34 - 0.9 = 0.44 not 1.25

anonymous · Answer

can u help me

asnaseer · Answer

@cazil - I /think/ I now see what the question is asking, but I would expect the answer to be:
rename 1 zero, 3 tenths as 13 tenths to subtract 9 tenths

anonymous · Answer

Ya.

anonymous · Answer

so ur saying its B

asnaseer · Answer

no - I'm saying the answer I /think/ it is does not seem to be one of the choices

anonymous · Answer

Rename 1 one 3 tenths as 13 tenths.	
I think that is trying to say Rename (one 1) and (3 tenths) as 13 tenths.
Very confusing wording though.

asnaseer · Answer

ah - I see - thx for clarifying @cazil.
in that case @partyrainbow276 - the answer is indeed B as @cazil indicated

asnaseer · Answer

hope you understood how the answer was calculated @partyrainbow276
