Decimals are real numbers. Furthermore, integers and whole numbers are the same thing.
In the same way as you estimate them for whole numbers.
Decimals are numbers that can be expressed like this. 10.56 or 16.4 or 46.324672462 These numbers show that the numbers are between whole numbers. Fractions do the same thing. Fractions tell you the number between the two whole numbers, just more accurately. For example.. 3/4 is a number between 0 and 1. The fraction 23/7 is a number between 3 and 4 and if you do this on a calculator and turn it into decimal form you will get a large amount of decimals. this proves that the fraction form is more accurate.
Same rules as adding whole numbers with different signs.
Exactly the same way you do when they're all whole numbers, or there are more than three numbers, or they're a mixture of whole numbers and decimals: -- Add up all the numbers on the list. -- Divide the big sum by the number of items on the list.
