• A. $2.314$
• B. $2.413$
• C. $2.414$
• D. $1.414$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $2.414$

First, we convert the given decimals into like fractions with denominator as $1000$.

$0.604=\frac{604}{1000}$

$1.81=1.810=\frac{1810}{1000}$

$0.604+1.81=\frac{604}{1000}+\frac{1810}{1000}$

$=\frac{(604+1810)}{1000}$

$=\frac{\left(2414\right)}{1000}=2.414$
$\therefore 0.604+1.81=2.414$
