When you are adding and subtracting decimals, youare +/- ing the whole numbers and tenths in the number. the decimal might go away ex: 1.3-0.3=1 or it won't ex: 1.9-0.3=1.6
When adding and/or subtracting, your answer can only show as many decimal places as the measurement having the fewest number in the decimal places.
Adding decimal same as adding whole numbers
Yes.
First you write the decimals one under the other, in such as way that the decimal points are aligned.
They aren't. The rules are the same as those for adding/subtracting or multiplying integers. Just be careful of the decimal point's location.

Yes, unless you are an expert.
Write them one above the other with the decimal points aligned.
you only line the decimals up when you are subtracting or adding not when you are multiplying im not sure about division...
line up the decimal point when your adding and subtracting. add annex a zero when you have extra number. sometimes you can use a number line.
Adding and subtracting decimals is similar to adding and subtracting whole numbers in that the same basic arithmetic principles apply. Both operations require aligning the numbers properly—decimals must be lined up at the decimal point, just as whole numbers are aligned by their place values. Additionally, carrying over or borrowing is used in both cases when the sum exceeds the place value or when subtracting a larger digit from a smaller one. Ultimately, the processes of combining values remain consistent regardless of whether the numbers include decimal points.
When adding or subtracting decimals, the first step is to align the decimal points vertically. This ensures that each digit is in the correct place value column, making it easier to perform the operation accurately. After aligning the decimals, you can proceed with the addition or subtraction as you would with whole numbers, ensuring to keep the decimal point in the final answer.
The key would be to add (00.) before your decimal. IE 00.41 + 00.95 = 01.36
