Answer:

sum of the 2 circled numbers is
\textbf{0.1127}

Explanation:

The given seven numbers are


0.123, -0.123, 0.112233, 0.13, -0.0123, 0.1223, 0.125

Rewritting the above numbers from smallest to greatest is


-0.123, -0.0123, 0.112233, 0.1223, 0.123, 0.125, 0.13

Now circling the 2nd and 6th number as Ashley circled.


-0.123, {\bf -0.0123}, 0.112233, 0.1223, 0.123, {\bf 0.125}, 0.13

now sum the 2 circled numbers


-0.0123+0.125


=0.1127
