Adding decimals involves combining two or more decimal numbers to find their total, while multiplying decimals involves finding the product of two decimal numbers. In addition, you align the decimal points and sum the values, whereas in multiplication, you multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers, then count and place the decimal point in the product based on the total number of decimal places in the factors. The operations serve different purposes in mathematics and yield different types of results.
Adding and subtracting with decimals primarily involves aligning the decimal points and performing the operation, ensuring that the digits are correctly placed in relation to the decimal. In contrast, multiplying with decimals requires multiplying the numbers as if they were whole numbers, then counting the total number of decimal places in both factors to place the decimal point in the product accurately. While addition and subtraction focus on the positional value of the digits, multiplication also incorporates the overall scale of the numbers involved.
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.
1. When adding, the decimals MUST line up: 012.3 +32.1 2. When multiplying, you dont have to put the decimals side by side: 12.3 x323.55 Then you count how many numbers are after the decimals, which, in this case, is three. Hope it helped!

keep your decimals in the right position
adding subtracting multiplying and dividing

you only line the decimals up when you are subtracting or adding not when you are multiplying im not sure about division...
3rd. Adding Decimals 5th - Adding and subtracting 6th - Dividing Decimals
They are different operations, giving different results. Example: 1+1=2, 1*1=1.

A calculator is used for adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying, decimals, or fractions and is also used for a lot of other uses too.
multiplying. adding is permeter. sorry bout my spelling. not the best at it
keep your decimals in the right position
