Understanding Decimal Addition
Decimal addition is a fundamental arithmetic operation used to find the sum of two or more decimal numbers. Decimals are numbers that include a decimal point, representing fractions of a whole number.
Example: To add 2.5 and 3.75, you align the decimal points and add the numbers column by column, just like adding whole numbers.
- Step 1: Align the decimal points.
- Step 2: Add zeros as placeholders if needed to make columns align.
- Step 3: Add each column from right to left, carrying over when the sum in a column is 10 or more.
- Step 4: Place the decimal point in the sum directly below the decimal points in the numbers being added.
Decimal addition is used in everyday situations like calculating bills, cooking measurements, and financial transactions. This tool simplifies the process, providing accurate sums instantly.
