Decimals

Welcome back,
For the last couple of weeks, L3 Maths have been learning about decimals. Decimals and fractions can be used together to answer  questions . When you are working with decimals it is easier if you put the numbers into columns, always line up the decimal point. In this question start with adding  3 tenths +6 tenths =9 tenths, so you put nine at the bottom and add the decimal point in front of the nine. Once done, move on to adding 4+2=6. Add  the six, then the decimal point and the nine after the decimal point. So the answer is 6.9.
For example:    4.3
                    +  2.6
                        6.9
