ALWAYS Between the units number and the tenths decimal number.

e.g. 4.5

'4' is the units ' 5' is the tenths decimal number.

or

  1. 345

'2' is the units number and ;3; is the tenths decimal number.

When adding or subtracting decimals keep the decimal point directly below each other. It makes for far easier manipulation

Hence (adding)

102.345

004.500 (Note the use of trivial zeroes '0'.

____-----

106.845

======

Rather than

102.345

4.5

Much more difficult and far easier to make a mistake.

What is 120 in decimal form?

120 is already in decimal form. You do not need to have a decimal point for a number to be in decimal form. All that is required is that the place values go down by a factor of one-tenth every time you move one digit to the right. Also the digit to the left of the decimal point (or where the decimal point would have been) has a unit place value.
