DECIMAL NUMBERS
Addition
Line up the decimal points of the given
numbers and add the numbers. If a decimal
point is not visible (i.e., whole numbers), the
decimal is behind the number.
DECIMAL NUMBERS
Subtraction

Line up the decimal point of the given


numbers, and subtract the values. Similar to
addition, if a decimal point is not visible (i.e.,
whole numbers), the decimal is behind the
number, and put zeroes after the decimal
point.
DECIMAL NUMBERS
Multiplication
For example: 43.79 x 7 and 62.59 x 3.12

Step 1: Multiply like the whole numbers.

Step 2: Count the number of decimal places


in the factors.
DECIMAL NUMBERS

Multiplication
Step 3: Place the decimal point in the
product. The decimal place in the product is
equal to the total number of decimal places
in the factors.
DECIMAL NUMBERS
Division
For example: 3.5 ÷ 0.5

Step 1: Write out the long division form of the


problem.

Step 2: Transforming both decimal numbers


to whole numbers will make the problem
easier to solve. In the example, multiply both
numbers with 10 to make them whole
numbers.

Step 3: Solve the problem.

Therefore, 3.5 ÷ 0.5


is equals to 7.

Mixed Numbers
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to an
improper fraction.
Step 2: Just like dividing unlike fractions,
keep the dividend and transform the divisor
to its reciprocal (turning the fraction upside
down).
Step 3: Multiply their numerators.
Step 4: Multiply their denominators.
Step 5: Simply the fraction.

A Whole Number and a Fraction


Step 1: Convert the whole number into a
fraction by taking the denominator as 1.
Step 2: Keep the dividend and transform the
divisor to its reciprocal (turning the fraction
upside down).
Step 3: Multiply their numerators.
Step 4: Multiply their denominators.
Step 5: Simply the fraction.
