This is a fun math exercise that is done using the built in calculator on the computer. Kids really enjoy learning to use the calculator and find that it takes careful attention to detail to push the correct buttons and decimal point. To get the computer calculater, go to: Start > All Programs > Accessories > Calculator.

Calculations can also be entered directly into the Google search box to get answers. For example, in Google Search, simply enter the problem into the search box like this: 8.00 - 1.79 and then press "Enter" or click "Google Search" to get the answer.
