If required, round your answers to four decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a sign before the blank. (example: -300) =

Final answer:

When adding or subtracting numbers, round the result to the same number of decimal places as the number with the least number of decimal places. If the result is a negative number, use a minus sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding or subtracting numbers, round the result to the same number of decimal places as the number with the least number of decimal places. For example, if you are adding 3.14159 and 2.71828, which have 5 and 5 decimal places respectively, you would round the result to 3.14159 since it has fewer decimal places. If the result is a subtractive or negative number, use a minus sign even if there is already a sign before the blank. For example, -300.
