Subtracting Decimals
Subtracting decimals is similar to adding decimals. When subtracting decimals you are going to write out the two pieces to the problem by lining up the decimal points.

Things to remember
We line up the numbers by their decimal points to make sure they are in the correct place value when adding/subtracting
When adding be sure you are regrouping when needed
When subtracting be sure you are borrowing when needed

Multiplying Decimals
When you multiply decimals you do not line up the problem by the decimal points
Starting from the right side of each number, count how many decimal places you have with each number
Multiply as you usually would, starting from the right and working to the left
Write down the amount of decimal places there are to the right of. the problem and circle it

Multiplying decimals
After you finish multiplying, add up the decimal spaces from each part of the problem
Then go to the product and count from right to left to find the placement of your decimal

5.05 × 3.11.5655
156.55
15.655
10
Dividing Decimals
