Carly Patterson’s Preliminary Scores Course 1 3-3 Adding and Subtracting Decimals At the 2004 U.S. Gymnastics Championships, Carly Patterson and Courtney Kupets tied for the All-Around title. Carly Patterson’s Preliminary Scores Event Points Floor exercise 9.7 Balance beam Vault 9.3 Uneven bars 9.45 To find the total number of points, you add all of the scores.

Additional Example 1A: Sports Application Course 1 3-3 Adding and Subtracting Decimals Additional Example 1A: Sports Application What was Carly Patterson’s total for the events other than the floor exercise? Find the sum of 9.7, 9.3, and 9.45. Estimate by rounding to the nearest whole number. 9.7 + 9.3 + 9.45 The total is about 28 points. 10 + 9 + 9 = 28

Additional Example 1A Continued Course 1 3-3 Adding and Subtracting Decimals Additional Example 1A Continued Add. Align the decimal points. 9.70 Use zeros as placeholders. 9.30 +9.45 Add. Then place the decimal point. 28.45 Since 28.45 is close to the estimate of 28, the answer is reasonable. Carly Patterson’s total for the events other than the floor exercise was 28.45.

Additional Example 1B: Sports Application Course 1 3-3 Adding and Subtracting Decimals Additional Example 1B: Sports Application How many more points did Carly need on the vault to have a perfect score of 10? Find the difference between 10 and 9.3. Align the decimal points. 10.0 Use zeros as placeholders. -9.3 0.7 Subtract. Then place the decimal point. Carly needed another 0.7 of a point to have a perfect score.
