Decimals<br />
Adding Decimals<br />
Decimals are added the same way whole numbers are added. To add decimals,<br />
line up the decimal points and add as you would whole numbers.<br />
For example: Add 24.29 + 12.95.<br />
1. Write the question so the decimal points are lined up.<br />
2. Add the hundredths.<br />
3. Add the tenths.<br />
4. Add the whole numbers.<br />
5. Line up the decimal points.<br />
Remember : Any whole number is understood to have a decimal point at its<br />
right. You can add zeros to the right so it is easier to add.<br />
For example: 16 + 2.005.<br />
16.000<br />
2.005<br />
18.005<br />
