Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 0.6+0.7 0.6 + 0.7 , we'll perform simple addition of decimal numbers:

  • Step 1: Align the numbers by their decimal points:
         0.6
    +  0.7
  • Step 2: Add the numbers column by column, starting from the rightmost digit:

0.6 can be thought of as 0.60 if we want to align them neatly:
       0.60
+     0.70
---------------

  • Add the hundredths (rightmost) digit: 0 + 0 = 0
  • Add the tenths digit: 6 + 7 = 13. Since this sum is greater than 9, we write down 3 and carry over 1 to the ones column.
  • Add the digits in the ones column: 0 + 0 = 0, then add the carried over 1 to get 1.

The result of the addition 0.6+0.7 0.6 + 0.7 is 1.3 1.3 . This matches our expectations from the arithmetic process.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 1.3 1.3 .
