Adding and Subtracting Decimals
Grade 6 Math Worksheets
We usually add numbers when we have different and varied data, but when we are given with a set of repeated data, we multiply.
Multiplication is a much easier way to calculate repeated data.
2 × 3 also means 2 + 2 + 2 which is equal to 6.
Example: Let’s say Jim buys 4 pens costing $3.50 each. What is the total cost?
![adding and subtracting decimals](https://www.etutorworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/addsub-300x138.jpg)
Cost of one pen = $3.50
Hence, the cost of 4 pens
= $3.50 × 4 (Which is same as 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50)
= $14.00

Importance of Place Value While Adding and Subtracting Decimals
Let’s look at this with a couple of examples
Example 1
2.87 + 3.02 + 0.006 + 123.9 + 4
![adding and subtracting decimals](jpg/addsub2.jpg)
Example 2
Renée bought 6.75 pounds of apples, 4.5 pounds of oranges, 3.82 pounds of bananas, and 2.25 pounds of grapes. How much fruit did she buy in all?
Solution
Fruits Renée bought in all = 6.75 + 4.5 + 3.82 + 2.25 = 17.32 pounds

Subtracting Decimals
Subtracting decimals is very similar to the way we have learned above in adding decimals.
Let’s see how.
Example
Daniel has 2 pieces of wood measuring, 10.34 inches and 7.56 inches. How much longer is the first piece than the second one?
Subtract the lengths of 2 given wooden pieces.
10.34 – 7.56
= 2.78
So, the first piece is 2.78 inches longer than the second wooden piece.
