Geometry Fun at every vertex
Decimals! Addition and Subtraction 33.7-2.5=? • Line up the decimal points • Perform the operation like normal • 33.7 • 2.5 • 31.2
Decimals! Multiplication 33.7 x 2.5 1685 + 6740 84.25 33.7x2.5=? • Line up the decimal points • Perform the operation like normal • Count total number of decimal places (2) • Put decimal that many spaces from the right
Decimals! Multiplication 10.5x3.1=? • Line up the decimal points • Perform the operation like normal • Count total number of decimal places • Put decimal that many spaces from the right
Decimals! Multiplication • SHORTCUT!!! • Plug it into your calculator
Decimals! division 10÷2.5=? • Set up the operation like normal • Move decimal so that it is at the end of the number. • Move the decimal for the other number the same • Divide normally
Decimals! division • SHORTCUT!!! • Plug it into your calculator
