Solution

We observe that, the given decimal numbers are unlike. Converting them into like decimals by adding zeroes maximum up to two decimal places as the highest decimal place in the given numbers is two, we get,
$2.40 + 3.62 - 0.60$
By grouping positive and negative numbers separately, we have
$(2.40 + 3.62) - 0.60$
$2.40 + 3.62 6.02$ $6.02 - 0.60 5.42$
Hence, $2.4 + 3.62 - 0.6 = 5.42$
