Choose the correct answer to the following exercise:
To avoid confusion, we will first add the digit 0 to the number 5.4 as follows:
Now let's solve the exercise in order:
We'll add the hundredths after the decimal point:
We'll then add the tenths after the decimal point:
Finally, we'll add the whole numbers before the decimal point:
Finally, simply solve the addition as follows:
8.62
Choose the correct writing form:
Adding zero makes 5.40 helps you see that the hundredths place is empty. This prevents mistakes when adding column by column and ensures proper alignment with 3.22.
No problem! Just add zeros to make them the same length. For example, 2.5 + 1.234 becomes 2.500 + 1.234 for easier calculation.
The decimal point in your answer goes directly below the decimal points in the problem. When properly aligned, it lines up automatically!
It's better to add from right to left (like whole numbers) so you can carry over properly if any column sum is 10 or more.
Keep the zero if it's in a decimal place that was in the original problem. For , we keep both decimal places.
