ADDITION OF DECIMAL NUMBERS

Step.1) Convert the given decimals into like decimals.

Step.2) Write the addends one under the other in column form so. that the decimal points of all the addends are in the same column and the digits at the same place are in the same column.

Step.3) Now add them like whole number

Step.4) In the sum put the decimal point directly under the decimal Points in the addends.

So, the result of that given summation is  213.831        (Ans.)

Example.2) Add  78.221, 128.421 and 42.85

Ans.)  Above all given numbers if you observe those all are unlike fractions.

78.221 = 078.221 , 128.421 = 128.421  and  42.85 = 42.850  

Step.1) Convert the given decimals into like decimals.

Step.2) Write the addends one under the other in column form so that the decimal points of all the addends are in the same column and the digits at the same place are in the same column.

Step.3) Now add them like whole number

Step.4) In the sum put the decimal point directly under the decimal Points in the addends.

So, the result of that given summation is  249.492    (Ans.)
