you have to line up the decimal points because you need to keep each place value in the same column so when you add or subtract you wont make any errors
Because when adding or subtracting, the operations must take account of the place values of individual digits in the numbers. When multiplying, only the overall order of magnitudes are relevant for placing the decimal point in the product.
It is not a matter of aligning the decimal points, but aligning the place value columns so that the ones are under each other, the tens are under each other, the tenths are under each other, etc which is the proper way to subtract. As the decimal points are between the ones and tenths columns, with those place value columns aligned, the decimal points are aligned.Aligning the decimal points is an easy way to remember to align the place value columns, as with the decimal points aligned all the place value columns are automatically aligned.
Yes.
The simplest way is to line up the numbers so that their decimal points are aligned, and corresponding digits are also aligned according to their place value.

You line the number up, vertically, so that the decimal points are one below the other.

you only line the decimals up when you are subtracting or adding not when you are multiplying im not sure about division...

Unlike addition, there is no need to line up the decimal points. Just multiply ignoring the decimal points. When you are done, move the decimal point of the result to the left equal to the number of digits after the decimal point for both multiplicands.
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.

This is true for adding and subtracting ALL numbers, not just decimal representations.
You are more likely to make a mistake.
