Here are some rules to help you:

To solve the addition subtraction division and multiplication problems involving numbers with decimals follow these steps:

   list-item.
   • Align the decimal points of the numbers to be added.

   • As usual Add the rightmost column and carry over if necessary.

   • Put a decimal point in the sum directly below the decimal point in the original number.

   • Round to the correct number of decimal places if necessary.

Subtraction:

• Align the decimal points of the numbers being subtracted.
• Subtract as usual, starting with the rightmost column and borrowing if necessary.
• Place the decimal point in the difference directly below the decimal point in the original numbers.
• Round to the appropriate number of decimal places, if needed.

Multiplication:

• Ignore the decimal points and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers.
• Count the total number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the original numbers.
• Place the decimal point in the product so that the total number of digits to the right of the decimal point is equal to the number counted in step 2.
• Round to the appropriate number of decimal places, if needed.

Division:

• Move the decimal point in the divisor (the number you are dividing by) to the right until it becomes a whole number.
• Move the decimal point in the dividend (the number you are dividing) the same number of places to the right as you did in step 1.
• Divide as usual, ignoring the decimal points.
• Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
• Round to the appropriate number of decimal places, if needed.

Always double check the placement of the decimal point to avoid errors in your calculations.
