DECIMALS
(91)
(92)
.03
Fine, now let's try ADDITION OF DECIMALS.
9/270 = 1/30
When the numbers containing the decimals are
lined up, the problem should look like this -
6.89
+.357
The next problem is to see if
the top quantity
has the same number of digits to
the right of the
decimal point as the second or
bottom quantity
has. If there is a difference, a
zero is added or
placed for each digit needed.
Remember placing zeros after a decimal point
(to the right) does not change the value. In this
problem a zero is added or placed after the "9" to
make the addition easier by lining up vertical
columns.
6.890
+.357
