The video tutorial explains how to add decimals by aligning the decimal points, adding from right to left, and correctly placing the decimal point in the sum. It emphasizes the importance of organizing work to prevent errors in decimal placement.

Why is it important to line up decimal points when adding decimals?

• To make the addition process faster

• To ensure the correct placement of digits

• To avoid using a calculator

What should you do if there is an empty space above a digit when adding decimals?

• Add a zero to hold the place

• Start the addition from the left

• Ignore it

• Move the decimal point

• Directly below the decimal points in the addends

• At the end of the number

What is a potential consequence of not organizing your work when adding decimals?

• You could subtract instead of add

• You could misplace the decimal point
