AND DECIMALS
Adding Signed Numbers
In adding two numbers with the same sign
, add their absolute values and copy the
common sign.
Ex.:
10 + 8 = 18 -10 + -8 = -18
-12 – -6 = -12 + +6 = -6
12 - -6 = 12 + +6 = 18
1) (-9) (-6) =
2) (+6) (+8) =
3) (-12) (+7) =
4) (+4) (+13) =
5) (+6) (+7) =
4.13 231.47
+ 5.24 - 152.12
9.37 79.35
Multiplying Decimals
Multiply the two decimals as if they were
whole numbers.
The number of decimal digits in the product is
the sum of the number of decimal digits in
the factors.
Ex.: 5.102 x 21.03
5.102 3 decimals
x 21.03 2 decimals
15306
51020
10204
107.29506 3 + 2 = 5 decimal digits

Dividing Decimals
To divide decimals:
1. Write the problem in the usual long division form.
2. Move the decimal point in the divisor until a whole
number is obtained.
3. Move the decimal point in the dividend the same
number of places as in step 2. Attach zeroes if
necessary.
4. Place the decimal point in the answer directly
above the new decimal point in the dividend.
5. Divide exactly as you would divide whole
numbers.
Divide the following:
