Arithmetic with Decimals
Adding Decimals
Example 1: Add 4.36 and 2.89

Line up the decimal
points. Add the
hundredths.
Example 2: Add:
1 1
Add the tenths.
Step 3 4.36
+2.89
7.25
Add the ones.
Place a decimal point in the sum in
line with those decimals above it.
4.3 + 12.75 + 0.093
11
Step 1
4.3
12.75
+ 0.093
Step 2 4.300
12.750
+ 0.093
Line up the decimal points.
Place zeros in the
missing digits for
place holders.
Step 3 4.300
12.750
+ 0.093
17.143
Add the the thousandths.
Add the hundredths and ones.
Place a decimal point in the sum in
line with those decimals above it.
Subtracting Decimals
Example 1: 4.72 – 2.65
4.72
- 2.65
2.07
Line up the decimal points.
Subtract hundredths, tenths, and ones.
Place a decimal point in the answer in line with those
decimals above it.
Example 2: 7.6 – 4.362
7.600
- 4.362
3.238
Line up decimal points.
Place zeros in the missing digits for place holders.
Subtract.
Multiplying Decimals
Example 1:
0.90 x 1.2
0.90 ← 2 decimal places
x 1.2 ← 1 decimal place
180
0900
1.080 ← 3 decimal places
Example 2:
.32
x .004
128
0000
.00128
To multiply decimals, multiply as with
whole numbers. The number of decimal
places in the product is the total number
of decimal places in the factors.
.32 x .004
← 2 decimal places
← 3 decimal places
When you multiply decimals, sometimes
you need to write one or more zeros in
the product to equal the total number of
decimal places in the factors.
← 5 decimal places
Dividing decimals
Example 1:
2.48 ÷ 2
1.24
2 2.48
Rewrite 2.48 ÷ 2 as shown. Place the
-2
04
-4
08
-8
0
decimal point in the quotient directly
above the decimal point in the dividend.
Divide as with whole numbers.
Add or subtract the following decimals.
1.
4.2 + 3.7 =
2.
0.09 + 3.6 =
3.
0.72 + 3.921 + 7.5 =

7.41 – 5.63 =
5.
9.4 – 7.25 =
6. 17.365 – 12.19 =

Graphing
Points in a plane are named using 2 numbers, called a coordinate pair. The first
number is called the x-coordinate. The x-coordinate is positive if the point is to the
right of the origin and negative if the point is to the left of the origin. The second
number is called the y-coordinate. The y-coordinate is positive if the point is above
the origin and negative if the point is below the origin.
The x-y plane is divided into 4 quadrants (4 sections) as described below.

All points in Quadrant 1 has a positive x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate (+ x, + y).
All points in Quadrant 2 has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate (- x, + y).
All points in Quadrant 3 has a negative x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate (- x, - y).
All points in Quadrant 4 has a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate (+ x, - y).
Plot each point on the graph below. Remember, coordinate pairs are labeled (x, y). Label
each point on the graph with the letter given.

y = -2(-3) – 3 = 6 – 3 = 3
Therefore (x, y) = (-3, 3)
x = -2
y = -2(-2) – 3 = 4 – 3 = 1
Therefore (x, y) = (-2, 1)
x = -1
y = -2(-1) – 3 = 2 – 3 = -1
Therefore (x, y) = (-1, -1)
x=0
y = -2(0) – 3 = 0 – 3 = -3
Therefore (x, y) = (0, -3)

Order of Operations
To avoid having different results for the same problem, mathematicians have agreed on an order of
operations when simplifying expressions that contain multiple operations.
1. Perform any operation(s) inside grouping symbols. (Parentheses, brackets
above or below a fraction bar)
2. Simplify any term with exponents.
3. Multiply and divide in order from left to right.
4. Add and subtract in order from left to right.
One easy way to remember the order of operations process is to remember the acronym PEMDAS or
the old saying, “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.”
P - Perform operations in grouping symbols
E - Simplify exponents
M - Perform multiplication and division in order from left to right
D
A - Perform addition and subtraction in order from left to right
S

Don’t subtract! Change the problem to addition and change the sign of the second number.
Then use the addition rules.

Solving Equations
To solve an equation means to find the value of the variable. We solve equations by isolating
the variable using opposite operations.
Opposite Operations:
Addition (+) & Subtraction (–)
Multiplication (x) & Division (  )
Example:
Solve.
3x – 2 = 10
+2
+2
Isolate 3x by adding 2 to each side.
3x
3
=

3
Simplify
Isolate x by dividing each side by 3.
x
=
4
Simplify
Check your answer.
3 (4) – 2 = 10
12 – 2 = 10
10 = 10
Please remember…
to do the same step on
each side of the equation.
Always check your
work by substitution!
Substitute the value in for the variable.
Simplify
Is the equation true?
If yes, you solved it correctly!

Use an Equations to Solve Word Problems:
 Translate each word problem into an algebraic equation
Using x for the unknown, write a “let x =” for each unknown, and then write an equation to
represent the relationship in the word problem
 Solve the equation
 Substitute the value for x into the let statement(s) to answer the question asked in the word
problem
 Check your answer by substituting the solution for the unknown in the word problem and for x in
the equation to determine if the solution is correct.
For Example:
Suzi is 6 years older than Marianne. The sum of their ages is 24. How old is each girl?
1. What are you asked to find? Let variables represent what you are asked to find.
How old is each girl?
Let x = Marianne’s age
Let x + 6 = Suzi’s age
2. Write an equation to represent the relationship in the problem, the sum of their ages.
x + (x + 6) = 24
3.
Solve the equation for the unknown.
x + (x + 6) = 24
2x + 6 = 24
-6 -6
2x
= 18

x = 9
Marianne = x = 9 years old
Suzi = x + 6 = 9 + 6 = 15 years old

Rounding numbers
Step 1: Underline the place value in which you want to round.
Step 2: Look at the number to the right of that place value.
Step 3: If the number to the right of the place value you want to round is
less than 5, keep the number the same and drop all other numbers.
If the number to the right of the place value you want to round is 5
or more, round up and drop the rest of the numbers.
Example: Round the following numbers to the tenths place.
1. 23.1296
