 Writing decimals in expanded form is similar to writing whole numbers in expanded form.  For example: Write in expanded form. 536 =

0.5 is “five tenths” 0.05 is “five hundredths” is “five thousandths” Example: Write the following in words Six and three tenths Four and thirty-two hundredths Eight and one hundred twenty-five thousandths

For example:

Round 2, to the following place values. 1. Nearest hundred 2. Nearest tenths 3. Nearest thousands 4. Nearest thousandths 5. Nearest ten thousandths 2,300 2, ,000 2, ,

 To add (or subtract) decimal numbers, we line up the decimal points and add (or subtract) as usual.  The decimal point in the result is written directly below the decimal point in the problem.

 Add: Line up the decimal points 2.Put in zeros as place holders 3.Separate the columns (if needed) 4.Add (or subtract) as usual 5.Put the decimal in place.

 Subtract: – Line up the decimal points 2.Put in zeros as place holders 3.Separate the columns (if needed) 4.Add (or subtract) as usual 5.Put the decimal in place

 Add: Line up the decimal points 2.Put in zeros as place holders 3.Separate the columns (if needed) 4.Add (or subtract) as usual 5.Put the decimal in place..

 Subtract: 4.7 – Line up the decimal points 2.Put in zeros as place holders 3.Separate the columns (if needed) 4.Add (or subtract) as usual 5.Put the decimal in place

 Add: (-9.33) Use Rule #2 – Subtract smaller number from larger 2.Line up the decimal points 3.Put in zeros as place holders 4.Separate the columns (if needed) 5.Add (or subtract) as usual 6.Put the decimal in place. 7.Use the sign of the number with the larger absolute value

 Multiply as you would if the decimal points were not there.  Place the decimal point in the answer so that the number of digits to its right is equal to the total number of digits to the right of the decimal points in the original two numbers in the problem.

 We can use rule for order of operations to simplify expressions involving decimal numbers and addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Divisions, Addition, Subtraction

 58. Car Rental: Suppose it costs $15 per day and $0.21 per mile to rent a car. What is the total bill if the car is rented for 2 days and is driven 120 miles?  60. A student earns $8.56 for each of the first 40 hours she works in one week and $12.84 in overtime pay for each additional hour she works in the same week. How much money will she make if she works 44 hours in one week? 15(2) = total cost for 2 days 0.21(120) = total cost for miles 15(2) (120) $55.20 total bill 8.56(40) = earning for the week 12.84(4) = additional earning 8.56(40) (4) $ total bill
