We will solve addition and subtraction operations of decimal numbers in vertical form, always keeping in mind the following rules: • All the rules that are applicable to the addition and subtraction of whole numbers also apply to decimal numbers. • The decimal points must always be aligned one under the other. • Numbers must be written in an orderly manner - both to the right of the decimal point and to its left (tenths under tenths, hundredths under hundredths, and so on)
Solve the following exercise and circle the appropriate answer:

Step-by-Step Solution
Let's solve the exercise in order:
We'll subtract the hundredths after the decimal point:
9−3=6
We'll subtract the tenths after the decimal point:
2−1=1
Finally, we'll subtract the whole numbers before the decimal point accordingly:
3−2=1
1−1=0
And we'll get:
13.29−12.1301.16
Answer
1.16
Exercise #12

Step-by-Step Solution
Let's solve the exercise in order:
We'll add up the hundredths after the decimal point:
8+1=9
We'll add up the tenths after the decimal point:
3+4=7
Finally, we'll add up the whole numbers before the decimal point accordingly:
1+3=4
2+1=3
And we get:
21.38+13.4134.79
Answer
34.79

Step-by-Step Solution
Let's solve the exercise in order:
We'll add up the thousandths after the decimal point:
2+3=5
We'll add up the hundredths after the decimal point:
1+1=2
We'll add up the tenths after the decimal point:
5+3=8
Finally, we'll subtract the whole numbers before the decimal point:
3+4=7
And we get:
3.512+4.3137.825
Answer
7.825
Exercise #14
Solve the following exercise:
Video Solution
Step-by-Step Solution
Let's solve the exercise in order.
First, we'll subtract the tenths after the decimal point:
1−0=1
Then, we'll subtract the whole numbers before the decimal point accordingly:
2−2=0
2−1=1
We get:
22.1−12.010.1
Answer
10.1
Exercise #15
Circle the correct answer to the following exercise:
Video Solution
Step-by-Step Solution
To avoid confusion in solving the exercise, we'll first add two zeros to the number 39.2 as follows:
39.200−13.421
Now let's solve the exercise in order:
Let's subtract the thousands after the decimal point:
0−1=
Since we cannot subtract, we'll borrow ten from the tenths digit after the decimal point (note that the hundreds digit is 0 and we cannot borrow from there)
After borrowing ten from the tenths digit, the hundreds digit will become 10 and from it we'll borrow ten to solve our exercise.
The hundreds digit will become 9 and we'll get the exercise:
10−1=9
Let's subtract the hundreds after the decimal point:
9−2=7
Let's subtract the tenths after the decimal point, remembering that we borrowed ten from it, therefore:
2−1−4=1−4
Since we cannot subtract, we'll borrow ten from the tens digit of the whole number and get:
11−4=7
Finally, let's subtract the whole numbers before the decimal point accordingly:
Remember that we borrowed ten from the tens digit, therefore:
