OPERATIONS AND

DECIMALS
Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying and Dividing
 In mathematics, "operation" refers to fundamental
mathematical processes, such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division. Decimals
DEFINITION are a way of representing numbers that fall between
whole numbers by using a decimal point. Here are
some common mathematical operations involving
decimals:
 ADDING DECIMALS
• There are four basic operation with
decimals. This includes Addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division.
• Addition is the process of combining two
or more numbers to find their total.
• The key concept for this is: a + b, where
'a' and 'b' are the numbers being added.
EXAMPLE: ADDING
DECIMALS
41.80
0.15
41.95
 STEPS IN ADDING DECIMALS

1 2 3
Align the decimals- when Add numbers as whole ,Place decimals point- After
you’re adding decimals, it is numbers- add the numbers as you’re finish adding the
important to have your if they were whole numbers decimals, you place the
decimals lined up properly starting from the right (tenth decimal point directly below
place) the decimal point of the
numbers you were adding
 SUBTRACTING DECIMALS

Subtraction is the process of finding the difference

between two numbers. Key concept: a - b, where 'a' is the
minuend and 'b' is the subtrahend
 EXAMPLE: SUBTRACTING
DECIMALS
87.5
1.2
86.3
 STEPS IN SUBRACTING DECIMAL

Subtract the
Place the decimal
numbers as whole
point- since both
numbers- Just like
Always align addition, you
original numbers
had one place, the
your subtract the
decimal point in the
numbers starting
decimals- from the right. So in
answer should be
placed one place in
this case it would be
the right
5-2=3 and 7-1=6
 MULTIPLYING DECIMALS
When multiplying decimals, perform the multiplication as if
they were whole numbers and then count the total decimal
places in both factors. Place the decimal point in the product
accordingly. Formula: a × b, where 'a' and 'b' are the numbers
being multiplied.
EXAMPLE: MULTIPLYING DECIMALS

1.12 2 decimal places

x2.3 +1 decimal place
336
+2240
2.576 3 decimal place
 STEPS IN MULTIPLYING DECIMALS

1 2 3
Start by multiplying 3 After you multiply Add the answers you
in 2.3 by the top that, multiply the digit get and make it 3
numbers 2 beside the 3 by the decimal places
same top digits.
 DIVIDING DECIMALS
To divide decimals, ensure that the divisor (the number you're dividing
by) is a whole number. Perform the division as with whole numbers and
place the decimal point in the quotient where it's located in the dividend.
Key concept: a ÷ b, where 'a' is the dividend and 'b' is the divisor .
EXAMPLE: DIVIDING DECIMALS
 REAL LIFE SITUATIONS WHERE
YOU USE DIVISIONS

You can also use division in sharing

In sports you can use real life situations
by calculating the statistics like average
points per game or average goal scored
candy. For example: you have 20 bags
of candies, and you have 5 friends, you
can use division to decide how many
candies each friend gets. In this case
you would divide the 20 by 5 resulting
in 4 candies per friend
