right of the decimal point are fractions with denominators of only 10, 100,
1,000, 10,000, etc.

,Question:
Adding and subtracting decimals
Answer:
-Line up the decimal points and then add or subtract in the same manner you

Question:
Multiplying decimals
Answer:
-Multiply as usual
-Count the total number of digits above the line which are to the right of all
decimal points
-Place your decimal point in your answer so there is the same number of digits
to the right of it as there was above the line
Example: 40.012 (3 digits) x 3.1 (1 digit) = 124.0372 (4 digits)
,Question:
Dividing decimals
Answer:
-The same as dividing other numbers, except that if the divisor (the number
you're dividing by) has a decimal, move it to the right as many places as
necessary until it is a whole number
-Move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided into) into
the same number of places
-Sometimes you may have to add zeroes to the dividend (the number inside
the division sign)
Example: 5 ÷ 1.25 = 500 ÷ 125
