Example Question #1890 : Operations

Find the sum of \displaystyle 45\displaystyle 79, and \displaystyle 12.3.

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 247

\displaystyle 136.3

\displaystyle 13.63

\displaystyle 1363

\displaystyle 137.6

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 136.3

Explanation:

To find the sum, you need to add. Line up all numbers vertically. Since one number has a decimal in the tenths place, be extra careful to line up the digits correctly. To help you, add a zero in the tenths place at the end of the other two numbers so that all digits line up correctly.

\displaystyle \begin{matrix} &45.0 \\ & 79.0\\ + & 12.3\\ & 136.3 \end{matrix}

When adding the ones place, we get \displaystyle 16. The \displaystyle 6 goes to the answer, and we need to carry the \displaystyle 1 to the tens. The tens place adds up to \displaystyle 13 with the extra \displaystyle 1.

The sum is \displaystyle 136.3.
