You are lining up the place value columns, so that the tens are under each other, the ones are under each other, the tenths are under each other, the hundredths are under each other, etc so that when you do the addition/subtraction you are adding/subtracting the tens from the tens, the ones from the ones, the tenths from the tenths, the hundredths from the hundredths, etc.
The easiest way to line up the place value columns is to align the decimal points.
Remember that an empty place value column is the same as that place value column containing a zero.
When adding/subtracting whole numbers align the numbers at their right hand end. What you are doing is actually aligning the "hidden" decimal points - the decimal point sits between the ones place value column and the tenths place value column; when there is no decimal part of a number, the decimal point (and trailing zeros) are not written, so it is "hiding" after the last (ones) digit of the number.
What else can I help you with?
When adding and subtracting decimals you must?
add them or subtract them, as appropriate!
How do you add and subtract integers with decimals?
The same as integers without decimals. Just make sure the decimals are directly above and below one another. Use zeros as placeholders if you don't have enough numbers, that is, if one decimal is longer than the other.
When adding or subtracting decimals how can you be sure to add or subtract only digits that have the same place value?
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.
How do you add decimals step by step?
line up the decimals together
When you add and subtract decimals with different signs how do you determine the sign?
fist then the kick then the uppercut
How do you add or subtract decimals?
how do we add or subtract decimal? its the same thing as using regular subraction and addition. Example: 12.4 +8.1 ______ =20.5 The same in subtraction! Just keep the decimals alligned!
What do you do when you add or subtract decimals?
Adding and subtracting decimals is easy. When you put the numbers one above the other, line up the decimals vertically and treat as you would any whole number just keep the decimals in line and bring it straight down to your answer.
130.40 - 129.60 equals?

How do you add and subtract decimal models?
you add and subtract decimals by writing down your number and then line up your decimal's.yourwelcome kinda smart for a math problem like that huh?
How do you do add and subtract decimals?
How To Add/Subtract DecimalsTo add decimals you HAVE TO LINE UP THE DECIMAL POINTS and then add the numbers up (Tip: when your first starting if the decimals don't go to the same place value you can add as may zeros at the END of the decimal. This does NOT change the place value)After you have added up the digits you "drop" the decimal point down.Example 105.43+23.4=?105.43+23.40-----------128.83To subtract decimals it's the same thing as adding YOU MUST LINE UP THE DECIMALS. You would subtract as you normally would.You would then "drop" down the decimal point.Example 109.783-43.39=?109.783-43.390----------66.393
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 and subtracting decimals you must?
add them or subtract them, as appropriate!
When you add decimals should the numbers have the same amount of digits?
yes, for an example: 4.77 + 3.8 line up the decimals and add zeros so there are the same amount of numbers 4.77+ 3.8 and add a zero so its like this 4.77+3.80 and add
