In this article we are going to learn about adding decimals concept.Decimal is base 10 number system. A number consists of decimal part and whole number part is known as decimal number. The point which splits the whole number part and decimal part is known as decimal point. The digit after a decimal point is decimal part and the left to the point is whole number part.
Addition of Decimals Methods
Th following are the steps for addition with decimals:
Step 1: Checking the decimal part of given numbers and making them equal in number of digits by adding zeros at the end.
Step 2: Write down the numbers vertically one under the other with the aligned decimal point
Step 3: Add the numbers as normal addition and place the decimal point in the result
Examples
Below are the examples based on Adding decimals:
Example 1:
1) Add 12.43 with 5
Sol:
Write 5 as 5.00 (as 12.43 has 2 digits after decimal point)
Add 12.43+5.00
12.43
5.00
---------
17.43
Hence the sum is, 12.43 + 5 = 17.43
Example 2:
Add 1.34 + 6 + 12.7.
Sol:
Making decimal part equal ,
6= 6.00, 12.7 = 12.70
1.34
6.00
12.70
--------
20.04
Hence the sum is, 1.34 + 6 + 12.7 = 20.04
Example 3:
Add 0.803+ 3.1+ 12
Sol:
Making decimal part equal,
3.1 = 3.100, 12 = 12.000
0.803
3.100
12.000
------------
15.903
Hence the sum is 0.803+ 3.1+ 12 = 15.903
Example 4:
Add 7.09 +9.20 + 0.36
Sol:
7.09
9.20
0.36
---------
16.65
Hence the result is 7.09 +9.20 + 0.36 = 16.65
Example 5:
Add 45. 56 + 6.7+ 2
Sol:
Making decimal part equal,
6.7= 6.70, 2=2.00
45.56
6.70
2.00
-------------
54.26
Hence the sum is 45. 56 + 6.7+ 2 = 54.26
Addition with decimals Ex 5:
Add 0.5795 + 2.5301
Sol:
0.5795
2.5301
-----------
3.1096
Hence the sum is 0.5795 + 2.5301= 3.1096
Addition with decimals Ex 6:
Add 82.543+322.916
Sol:
82.543
322.916
----------------
405.459
Hence the sum is 82.543+322.916 = 405.459
My forthcoming post is on Derivative of a Log Function and Sample Space Math Definition will give you more understanding about Algebra.
Addition with decimals Ex 7:
Add 369.2165 with 100
Making decimal part equal,
100 = 100 .000
369.2165
100 .0000
-------------
469.2165
Hence the sum is 369.2165+100 = 469.2165.
Addition with decimals Ex 8 :
Add 0.00013+3.902+56.7
Sol:
Making decimal part equal ,
3.902 = 3.90200 , 56.7 = 56.70000
0.00013
3.90200
56.70000
------------------------
60.60213
Hence the sum is 0.00013+3.902+56.7 = 60.60213.
