you did it correctly but I think it might have been more valuable if you

said why you did it -

 

same as in general subtraction when you 'borrow' 10 from the next column,

you must 'borrow' 60 minutes from the degree column (1 degree=60 minutes)

and add that to the minutes you have.

 

Then you can do the subtraction as indicated -

There are 60 minutes in 1 degree. Since you had to subtract 00 55.835 minutes from 64 22.964, Just subtract 1 degree and add 60 to the minutes 64-1=63, 22.964+60=82.964.
