Adding Decimals
Adding Decimals
Align numbers vertically by place values, with decimal points in a column. Add leading zeros if needed. Add each column right to left, carrying over when the sum exceeds 9. Place the decimal in the result directly below.
Subtracting Decimals
Subtracting Decimals
Align numbers vertically by place values, like addition. Add leading zeros if needed. Subtract each column from right to left, borrowing if needed. Place the decimal point in the result directly below.
Multiplying Decimals
Multiplying Decimals
