Key Concepts
New Concept Performing arithmetic with decimals requires specific rules for placing the decimal point to maintain correct place value for each operation.
Adding and Subtracting Decimal Numbers : We align the decimal points to ensure that we are adding or subtracting digits that have the same place value. Multiplying Decimal Numbers : When we multiply decimal numbers, the product has as many decimal places as there are in all the factors combined. Dividing Decimal Numbers : When we use long division, the decimal point in the quotient is lined up with the decimal point in the dividend. What’s next Next, we'll walk through worked examples for each operation, tackling problems involving perimeter, area, and unit conversions.
