Lesson
Addition and Subtraction of
1 Decimal Numbers
This module focuses on decimals which include addition and subtraction of decimals
and mixed numbers and solving routine /non-routine problems that we usually
encounter in our daily lives. The exact value or amount of number should determine.
The used of points that separates the whole and decimal numbers were aligned before
doing the operations. The steps in solving routine and non-routine problems enable
them to analyze and understand how to get the correct answer and apply it in their
daily lives.

What is It
The best way to apply the operations on decimals is through spending money.
Counting and value every single centavo that we spend. Addition and subtraction of
decimals are like adding and subtracting whole numbers, but you have to make it
sure that all the digits with the same place value are aligned .
124.60
+ 160.50 addends
180.00
P 465.10 sum
Mother spent ₱ 124.60, ₱160.50, and ₱ 180.00. You can get the sum of these given
numbers by aligning first the decimal point. Then add the digits in each column
starting from the right like of the whole numbers. Regroup on the next place value if
the answer is ten and above. Thus, you will get the sum of ₱ 465.10 after adding
the given numbers with decimal point.
4
₱ 1575.00 minuend
- 464.60 subtrahend
1110.40 difference
Thus, the total expenses is ₱ 464.60 subtracted from her total money
₱ 1,575.00, the difference ₱1110.40 is the amount money, left, to buy other needs
of the family
4
numbers, regroup if the answer is 10 above to the next value. Write the decimal point
where it is aligned.
Example 1.
+ 37.983
In Example number 1
• Write numbers with aligned decimal point. Add zero if needed to fill the
missing value.
• Start adding from your right to left.
➢ Zero thousandths added to 3 thousandths equals 3,
➢ 0 hundredths plus 8 hundredths equal 8
➢ 0 tenths added to 9 tenths equals 9,
➢ 5 plus 7 is equal to 12,
➢ regroup 1 ten to tens,
➢ 1 plus 4 plus 3 is equal to 8.
• Thus, you have a total sum of 82.983.(eighty-two and nine hundred eighty-
three thousandths)
Example 2. 3.81
-12.246 minuend
22.674 difference
In example number 2
• Aligned the decimal numbers, add zero to fill the missing value
• Proceed to subtraction as in whole numbers starting from the right to the left.
• Regroup the numbers from next number if the value of minuend is greater
than the subtrahend.
• Check the answer by adding the difference and minuend. Your answer should
be the same as of original subtrahend.

Lesson Problems Involving Addition and
or Subtraction of Decimals and
2 Mixed Decimals Using Appropriate
Problem-solving Strategies and
Tools
Solving problems with decimals is like solving applied problems from previous
modules. It is the application of the skills learned in our daily life, how we can solve
different problems that we encounter. We should not jump into conclusion, unless
we follow the steps one by one that will give you the correct output. We need to
understand first the given problem, find what is asked and the given facts. Plan for
which operation(s) to use. You may draw an illustration to help you visualize your
plan. Then, solve and check. Checking may help you to finalize your answer.

Let us solve the problem.
Every Saturday, Arlene helps her mother in doing household chores. She sweeps
the floor for 30.45 min, washing the dishes for 10.35 min and watering
plants for 5.75 min. How long did she help her mother in doing household
chores?

her mother doing household chores. Look for the given facts, there are different
household chores that Arlene did,30.45 minutes sweeps the floor, 10.35 minutes
washing the dishes and 5.75 minutes for watering the plants.
Step 2: Plan, which operation are you going to used, it asked for the total minutes of
helping household chores, therefore addition is the right operation.
Step 3: Solve, write the solution for the problem, how did you get the answer to the
question.
46.55 total number of minutes did Arlene helps her mother in doing
household chores.
Since it is decimal numbers don’t forget to align the decimal numbers before doing
the operation.
