Decimal Addition Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to add numbers with decimals by aligning the decimal points. It demonstrates the process with examples, showing how to carry over numbers and bring down decimals. Additionally, it covers adding whole numbers by assuming the decimal is at the end and using placeholder zeros. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of aligning decimals for accurate addition.

What is the first step in adding two decimal numbers?
