Question

Find the sum each of the following.
$0.007+8.5+30.08$

Answer 1

$0.007+8.5+30.08$

$=\frac{0007}{1000}+\frac{85}{10}+\frac{3008}{100}$

$=\frac{7}{1000}+\frac{85}{10}+\frac{3008}{100}$

$=\frac{7}{1000}+\frac{85}{10}\times \frac{100}{100}+\frac{3008}{100}\times \frac{10}{10}$

$=\frac{7}{1000}+\frac{8500}{1000}+\frac{30080}{1000}$

$=\frac{7+8500+30080}{1000}$

$=\frac{30080+8500+7}{1000}$

$=\frac{38587}{1000}$

$=38.587$
