Answer:

By doing it normally as in arithmetic rule

Explanation:

For starter see the following 2 numbers

334, 53

let add them and substract them in arithmetic way

334

+53

------

387

and

334

-53

------

281

here from right to left we add a single number and write it under the line, if the sum is above 1 decimal value the value upto 1 decimal from the very right of that number is written , for example in case of 9+8 that would be 17 so we would write 7 and carry 1, and the oposite of that for subtraction

Just in the same way lets consider the following example

1.23

+0.93

--------

2.16

and

1.23

-0.93

---------

0.30
