Step-by-Step Solution

Let's first calculate the numerator of the fraction:

0.18+0.37=0.55 0.18+0.37=0.55

Now let's calculate the denominator of the fraction, we'll start with the division exercise:

21=2 \frac{2}{1}=2

Now we get the exercise:

89+132= 89+13-2=

Let's solve from left to right:

89+13=102 89+13=102

1022=100 102-2=100

Now we have the exercise:

0.55100=0.55:100 \frac{0.55}{100}=0.55:100

We'll move the decimal point two places to the left (according to the two zeros of 100)

And we'll get the number:

0.0055 0.0055

Answer

0.0055
