Adding and Subtracting Decimals

The video tutorial covers adding and subtracting rational decimals, starting with a review of integer operations. It explains how to add decimals with the same and different signs, using examples to illustrate the concepts. The tutorial also demonstrates how to handle subtraction by converting it to addition, using the 'keep change change' method. Practical examples, such as calculating bank balances, are used to reinforce learning. The video concludes with practice problems to solidify understanding.
