Yes you do that is very important when doing a decimal problem.* * * * *It is important for other basic binary operations but NOTmultiplication.
Let P = 0.010101... Hence 100P = 1.01010.... Subtract 99P = 1 ( NB The repeating decimals subtract out). P = 1/99
1/9 Let P = 0.1111.... & 10P = 1.1111.... Subtract 9P = 1 ( Note the recurring decimals subtract tpo zero) P = 1/9
You line up the decimals and simply subtract. Below is an example. 2.989-1.989= 2.989 1.989 --------- 1.000

Adding and subtracting decimals is easy. When you put the numbers one above the other, line up the decimals vertically and treat as you would any whole number just keep the decimals in line and bring it straight down to your answer.
Line up the decimal points and then subtract one from the other.

You subtract decimals together.
line up the decimals together
no
You need to line up decimals for additional and subtraction. For multiplication, you don't need to line them up - in fact, it would serve no useful purpose.
