How do I add or subtract decimals? You can add or subtract decimals the same way you would whole numbers – only you must line up the decimals!
Example 1:Adding Decimals 9.8 + 9.7 + 9.425 + 9.85 9.800* line up 9.700decimals 9.425 * use zeros as + 9.850placeholders 38.775 ADD, remembering the decimal
Example 2:Subtracting Decimals 10 – 9.85 * line up decimals 10.00* use zeros as - 9.85placeholders 0.15 SUBTRACT, remembering the decimal
Example 3:Evaluate 7.52 – s for each value of s. (A) s = 2.9 7.52 – 2.9 * line up 7.52 decimals - 2.90* use zeros as 4.62 placeholders (B) s = 4.5367 7.52 – 4.5367 * line up 7.5200decimals - 4.5367* use zeros as 2.9833 placeholders
