Addition of Decimals
To add decimals,
arrange the numbers
so that their decimal
points fall in a column.
Then perform the
operation.
Example
27.93 + 6.4
► First line up the decimal places, then
perform the operation
27.93
+ 6.4
34.33
Subtraction of Decimal
23.07 – 2.3
► First line up the decimal places, then
perform the operation
23.07
- 2.3
20.77

Division of Decimals
►To divide a decimal with
whole number, divide
the dividend by the
divisor
If the number to be
dropped is between 0 and
4, round down the
numbers preceding it and
replace all digits that
follow with zeroes.
Examples:
453 450 (nearest ten)
If the number to be
dropped is exactly 5 and it
is preceded by an even
number retain the
preceding number
Examples:
345 340 (nearest ten)
If the number to be
dropped is exactly 5 and
it is preceded by an odd
number, add 1 to the
preceding number
Examples:
315 320 (nearest ten)
(+3) + (+2) = +5
B. The sum of two
integers with different
signs is the difference
of their absolute values
with the sign of the
integer of larger
absolute value prefixed
before the difference.
Ex.
To subtract two
integers, change the
sign of the subtrahend
and proceed with the
process of addition.
Ex.
(2) x (10) = 20
Multiplication of
Integers
(-12) / (-4) = +3
(12) / (4) = 3
Division of Integers
(+12) / (-4) = -3
(-15) / (5) = -3
The End
