Problem: Solving the Adding and Subtracting Decimals Worksheet
The worksheet consists of two sections:
1. Adding Decimals
2. Subtracting Decimals
We will solve each problem step by step.

$$
- Add column by column from right to left:
- Hundredths place: \(2 + 3 = 5\)
- Tenths place: \(3 + 1 = 4\)
- Ones place: \(8 + 9 = 17\) (write down 7, carry over 1)
- Tens place: \(2 + 0 + 1 (\text{carry}) = 3\)
