When do you need to write zero as a placeholder when adding and subtracting decimals?
Adding decimal same as adding whole numbers
What happens to the decimal in adding and subtracting decimals?
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
How is adding in subtracting decimals similar to Adding and subtracting whole numbers?
Adding and subtracting decimals is similar to adding and subtracting whole numbers in that both processes involve aligning the numbers by their place values and performing the operation digit by digit. Just as with whole numbers, you start from the rightmost digit and move left, carrying over or borrowing as needed. The key difference is ensuring that the decimal points are aligned correctly to maintain accuracy in the values. Overall, the fundamental principles of addition and subtraction remain the same regardless of whether the numbers are whole or decimal.
What is the difference between adding and subtracting with decimals and multiplying with decimals?
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.
What is the rule for significant figures when adding or subtracting decimals?
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.

How is adding and subtracting decimals similar to and different from adding and subtracting whole numbers?
You write down the numbers you want to add and subtract, making sure the decimal points are aligned. Then, you add (or subtract) EXACTLY as you would add or subtract integers. The decimal point in the solution should be aligned with the decimal points in the original numbers.
When adding or subtracting decimals always do what?
First you write the decimals one under the other, in such as way that the decimal points are aligned.
How are adding subtracting decimals different from multiplying them?
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.
Do decimal points need to be lined up when adding and subtracting decimals?
Yes, unless you are an expert.
What is the first step when you are adding and subtracting decimals?
Write them one above the other with the decimal points aligned.
When subtracting or adding numbers in scientific notation why do the exponents need to be the same?
This is effectively the same as lining up the decimal points when adding or subtracting ordinary decimal fractions.
Why do you line up the decimal when adding or subtracting decimal numbers?
Yes, When Adding and Subtracting decimals you should line up the decimals. You need to keep each place value in the same column, the same as when you add whole numbers you keep the ones column lined up, same for the tens, etc. Lining up the decimal points makes sure that the tenths column is kept together, same for the hundredths, and so on.
When multiplying decimals with whole numbers do you line up the whole numbers?
Hey awesome Question. The answer is no you do not have to line up the decimals when multyping only when adding and subtracting. The main thing is when you multiply make sure you put the decimal in the right place in your answer. YOu count how may places their are behind the decimals in BOTH numbers then you make sure their are that many places behind the decimal in you answer. :)
When do you line up the decimal?
you only line the decimals up when you are subtracting or adding not when you are multiplying im not sure about division...
