How to Add Decimals

When you first saw numbers with points between them, you must have started sweating. Now, place operators between them, and you have another set of problems in your hands. However, adding decimals is just as simple as adding numbers. You just have to remember a point between the numbers, and it must be catered to. If you consider each column a separate place value, it becomes pretty simple. It is when a value carries over to another column where you might get a little lost. Start by making sure that your decimal points are lined up and that each column (place value) is lined up. If you have any missing place values, make sure to write zeroes in those places to act as place holders for you. From there it is just straight normal addition add each column. Once you get your final sum, remember to put the decimal point in your final answer.
