Question

0.75+0.35= 0.75+0.35=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will add the decimal numbers 0.75 and 0.35 by aligning them according to their decimal points:

  • Step 1: Align the numbers vertically by their decimal points:

    000.75+0.35 \begin{array}{c} \phantom{0}\\ \phantom{0} \quad 0.75 \\ + \quad 0.35 \\ \hline \end{array}

  • Step 2: Add the digits starting from the rightmost column (hundredths place):

    - Hundredths place: 5+5=105 + 5 = 10. Write 0 and carry over 1 to the tenths place.
    - Tenths place: 7+3+1=117 + 3 + 1 = 11. Write 1 and carry over 1 to the units place.
    - Units place: 0+0+1=10 + 0 + 1 = 1.

  • Step 3: Write the final sum by placing the decimal point correctly below the decimal points of the addends:

    0.75+0.351.10 \begin{array}{c} 0.75\\ + 0.35\\ \hline 1.10\\ \end{array}

The sum of 0.75 and 0.35 is therefore 1.10\textbf{1.10}, which can be simplified to 1.1\textbf{1.1} by removing the trailing zero after the decimal point.

The correct answer is, therefore, 1.1\textbf{1.1}, corresponding to choice 33.
