Introduction

  • Decimals are another way to write numbers that are not whole.

  • A decimal point (.) separates the whole part from the fractional part (tenths, hundredths, etc.).

  • We add decimals the same way we add whole numbers—by aligning the decimal points.

Example Question 3

Rahul bought 4 kg 90 g of apples, 2 kg 60 g of grapes and5 kg 300 g of mangoes. Find the total weight of all the fruits he bought.

Weight of apples = 4 kg 90 g= 4.090 kg

Weight of grapes = 2 kg 60 g = 2.060 kg

Weight of mangoes = 5 kg 300 g = 5.300 kg

Therefore, the total weight of the fruits bought is

  4.090 kg
+ 2.060 kg
+ 5.300 kg
  11.450 kg

The total weight of the fruits bought = 11.450 kg.
