Line up the numbers on the right - do not align the decimal points.
3.
Place the decimal point in the answer by starting at the right and moving a number
of places equal to the sum of the decimal places in both numbers multiplied.
Estimate:
3.77 x 2.8.hmm
Does my answer
make sense?
4x3 = 12 so my
answer should be
around 12
10.556 is close to
12 so yes it is a
logical answer

1.
2.
Add each column of digits, starting on the right and working left. If the sum of a
column is more than ten, "carry" digits to the next column on the left.
3.
Place the decimal point in the answer directly below the decimal points in the
terms.
Estimate FIRST!
123 + 0.0079 + 43.5
120 + 1 + 44 = 165
YES!
1.
2.
Subtract each column, starting on the right and working left. If the digit being
subtracted in a column is larger than the digit above it, "borrow" a digit from the
next column to the left.
3.
Place the decimal point in the answer directly below the decimal points in the
terms.
4.
Check your answer by adding the result to the number subtracted. The sum should
equal the first number.
Estimate!
27.583 0.2
28 1 = 27
If the divisor is not a whole number, move decimal point to right to make it a whole
number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.
3.
Divide as usual. Keep dividing until the answer ends or go two decimal places
4.
5.
Check your answer. Multiply quotient by divisor. Does it equal the dividend
Estimate!
17 7 = about
2
Think!
Is 2.6 close to my
estimate of 2?
YES! So my
answer is
logical
Example 2:
Estimate:
55 3 = about
18
Is 16.27 close to my
estimate of 18? YES so
my answer is logical!
How to divide a decimal number by a whole number
Estimate:
18 36 = (or
0.5)
Check it!
