Final answer:To add or subtract decimals I have to make sure the decimal is lined up. If the place values are not the same I can add a zero that is the number zero. To multiply decimals the decimals do not have to be lined up. To know where the decimal goes I need to count the decimal places in the problem and the answer has to match. To divide decimals if there is a decimal in the divisor I will move it over to make it a whole number. I will move the decimal in the dividend the same amount of times. The decimal gets moved up and I divide like normal.
