Decimal numbers are a fundamental part of mathematics, and being able to add and subtract them accurately is an essential skill for grade X students. This comprehensive practice guide will provide you with everything you need to master decimal addition and subtraction, including step-by-step examples, interactive exercises, and downloadable worksheets.

Decimal Addition

When adding decimals, it is important to line up the decimal points vertically. Once the decimal points are aligned, add the digits in each column, starting from the rightmost column. If the sum of two digits is greater than 9, carry the extra digit to the next column.

For example, to add 1.23 + 4.56, we would align the decimal points as follows:

1.23 +4.56 -------

Starting from the rightmost column, we add 3 + 6 = 9. We then add 2 + 5 = 7, carrying the 1 to the next column. Finally, we add 1 + 4 = 5. Therefore, the sum of 1.23 and 4.56 is 5.79.

Decimal Subtraction

When subtracting decimals, it is important to align the decimal points vertically, just like in addition. However, if the digit in the subtrahend (the bottom number) is greater than the digit in the minuend (the top number),you will need to borrow from the next column.

For example, to subtract 2.34 from 5.67, we would align the decimal points as follows:

5.67 -2.34 -------

Starting from the rightmost column, we subtract 4 from 7, which gives us 3. We then subtract 3 from 6, which gives us 3. However, we cannot subtract 2 from 5, so we need to borrow 1 from the next column. This gives us 5 - 2 = 3, and 6 - 1 = 5. Therefore, the difference between 5.67 and 2.34 is 3.33.
