Sample questions (in Chinese)

Question 1用直式計算。

196.3375.9+

196.3 + 375.9 =

Answer and explanation

答案:196.3 + 375.9 = 572.2

為甚麼?小數點對齊,由最右的一位起相加,方法和整數一樣:196.3 + 375.9 = 572.2。

Question 2用直式計算。

39.2736.06−

39.27 − 36.06 =

Answer and explanation

答案:39.27 − 36.06 = 3.21

為甚麼?小數點對齊,由最右的一位起相減,方法和整數一樣:39.27 − 36.06 = 3.21。

Question 3用直式計算。

58.425.30+

58.42 + 5.3 =

Answer and explanation

答案:58.42 + 5.3 = 63.72

為甚麼?兩個數的小數位數不同。把 5.3 寫成 5.30,令小數點對齊。小數點對齊,由最右的一位起相加,方法和整數一樣:58.42 + 5.30 = 63.72。

Question 4計算。

152.0105.4−

152 − 105.4 =

Answer and explanation

答案:152 − 105.4 = 46.6

為甚麼?把整數寫成小數:152 = 152.0,令小數點對齊。小數點對齊,由最右的一位起相減,方法和整數一樣:152.0 − 105.4 = 46.6。
