Here are some rules to help you:

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

There is an Addition.:wp.
- 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.
