sorry, but I can't really explain very well how I did it, except for knowing that the 4 and 2 had to be in the places I put them, in order for the final answer to be the same as the second decimal

.304 - .152
=.152

The decimals are of the form .abc and point .def where .abc - .def =.def

so .abc = 2*.def

The 2 matches the 4; the 5 matches the 0 with 1 carried over
