To solve the problem , we'll perform simple addition of decimal numbers:
0.6 can be thought of as 0.60 if we want to align them neatly:
0.60
+ 0.70
---------------
The result of the addition is . This matches our expectations from the arithmetic process.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
1.3
Choose the correct writing form:
Visual blocks show that 0.6 means 6 tenths and 0.7 means 7 tenths. When you combine 6 tenths + 7 tenths = 13 tenths, which equals 1 whole and 3 tenths = 1.3!
When tenths add up to 10 or more, you regroup! Just like 13 tenths becomes 1 whole and 3 tenths. This is why 0.6 + 0.7 = 1.3, not 0.13.
Count carefully! The first block should show 1 complete whole (10 tenths) plus 3 additional tenths. That's exactly what 1.3 represents visually.
Absolutely! Line up the decimal points vertically:
0.6
+ 0.7
-----
1.3
The blocks just help you see what's happening with the place values.
That's a common mistake! 0.13 means 1 tenth and 3 hundredths, which is much smaller than our answer. Remember: when you get 13 tenths, that's the same as 1 whole and 3 tenths = 1.3.
