Question

What is the sum of 1.57 and 6.88?

7 tenths, 3 hundredths, and 5 thousandths
8 ones, 4 tenths, and 5 hundredths
5 ones, 4 tenths, and 8 hundredths
7 tenths, 4 hundredths, and 5 thousandths

Answer 1

The answer would be B: 8 ones, 4 tenths, and 5 hundredths.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would have to use the equation: 1.57 + 6.88 = ?

Do the math, and 1.57 + 6.88 = 8.45

Now look at the answer choices. You can automatically get rid of every answer choice but B because none of them have an 8 in the ones place.
