Adding and subtracting means lining the decimal points up, because you can only add tenths to tenths. Multiplying does not: multiply as though the points were not there, then count how many decimal places went in. Dividing by a decimal means moving the point in both numbers until the divisor is whole, then dividing.

Lining the points up when multiplying. That is the rule for adding; for multiplying you count places instead, and lining them up gives an answer ten or a hundred times out.
Also called decimal arithmetic, decimal operations or signed decimals.

Questions about these worksheets
Yes. Every operations with decimals sheet is free to print and free to download as a PDF. There is no account to make, no email to hand over and no limit on how many you take.
Yes. The answer key prints on a second page, and you can choose whether it shows each question beside its answer or just the answers in a list.
Yes. Print straight from the page, or download the PDF and print that. The sheet is laid out for paper rather than squeezed off a screen, so there is room to work under each question, and the answer key comes out on its own page.
Pre-Algebra is usually taken around 7th or 8th grade, though schools vary and plenty of students meet it earlier or later. Pick the difficulty rather than the grade: the easy level suits a first lesson on it, the hard level suits review before a test.
Yes, as many as you like. The questions are built fresh each time rather than picked from a fixed set of files, so pressing Generate gives a new sheet. That is what you want for a second class, a retake, or two students sitting next to each other.
That is the closest comparison, and Kuta Software is good software. It is also paid software you install on a computer. These worksheets run in a browser tab for free, with no account and nothing to install. Like Kuta, the operations with decimals questions are generated when you ask for them rather than pulled from a fixed set of files, so two classes never get the same sheet, and the answer key comes with it.
Yes. There are three levels, and you can tick more than one for a sheet that mixes them, in which case the questions come out easiest first. The harder levels are not just larger numbers: they ask for something the easy ones do not.
You pick from 8: adding and subtracting, multiplying, dividing, word problems, negative decimals, adding and subtracting negative decimals, negative decimals, longer products and divide and round. Tick as many as you want and set how many of each, or let it spread them evenly.
Lining the points up when multiplying. That is the rule for adding; for multiplying you count places instead, and lining them up gives an answer ten or a hundred times out.
