Question

Solve the following expression:

$(+0.68)+(+12.03)=\text{ ?}$

00:00 Solve

00:03 Find the point (0.68) on the axis

00:07 To add, we'll move right (positive) on the axis

00:15 We'll use long addition for calculation

00:27 And this is the solution to the question

Given that we are adding two positive numbers together, the result will be positive.

Looking at the numbers, we know that the result must be greater than 12.

Then we can proceed to use simple addition to solve as follows:

$0.68\\+12.03\\12.71$

$12.71$
