Question

What is `2.75+.003+.158`?

Answer 1

2.911

Explanation:

The first step to solve this problem, is to look at one certain part of the equation. To start, we are going to look at

`color(blue)(2.75+.003)+.158`

So, if you break that small chunk off, and pretend that for now, the .158 isn't even there, you are left with `2.75+.003`. Solve this using addition, and you get `color(red)2.753`.

Now, we are going to add back in the .158.

`color(red)2.753+.158`

After solving the problem above using addition, you result in `2.911`, which is your final answer.
