Adding zeros as placeholders helps you see all place values clearly! becomes , making it easier to add column by column without missing any digits.
No problem! Just add zeros to the right of the shorter decimal until both numbers have the same number of digits after the decimal point. This doesn't change the value!
Always start from the rightmost column (smallest place value) and work left, just like with whole numbers. This way you can handle any carrying correctly.
Easy! The decimal point in your answer goes in the same column as the decimal points in the numbers you're adding. It lines up perfectly when you align everything correctly.
You'll get the wrong answer because you're adding wrong place values together! Always double-check that your decimal points are lined up vertically before you start adding.
