Question

0.2+0.1= 0.2+0.1=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to add the decimal numbers 0.20.2 and 0.10.1.

Here are the steps to perform the addition:

  • Step 1: Align the numbers by their decimal points:
        0.20.2
    + 0.10.1
  • Step 2: Start adding from the rightmost digit to the left:
    • The tenths column contains 2 tenths (from 0.20.2) and 1 tenth (from 0.10.1), and adding these gives 3 tenths. There is no carryover since the result is below 10 tenths.
    • The single whole number place doesn't have digits to sum aside from the carry, which in this case, is zero.
  • Step 3: The sum of 0.2+0.10.2 + 0.1 is 0.30.3.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 0.30.3.

Answer

0.3
