Decimals

In this section we have a look at, the Adding, Subtracting, Multiplication and Division of decimals.
Introduction to Decimals
A Decimal Number is a number that contains a Decimal Point:
Ordering Decimals
Ordering decimals can be tricky. This is because often we look at 0.42 and 0.402 and say that 0.402 must be bigger because there are more numbers.
Multiplying Decimals
Multiply without the decimal point, then re-insert it in the correct spot!
Adding Decimals
Adding decimals is easy if you keep your work neat.
Subtracting Decimals
Subtracting decimals is easy if you keep your work neat
Dividing Decimals
Quick method: use Long Division without the decimal point, then re-insert the decimal point in the answer.
