Answer:

The sum 9.607 is 4.297 more than 5.31

Explanation:

Jimmie adds 3.24, 4.294 and 2.073 .

Here we can write 3.24 = 3.240 because adding 0's at the end of the decimal number does not change the value of the number.

Let's add them vertically.

3.240

4.294

2.073 (+)

_____

9.607

_____

Therefore, the sum is 9.607

Now we have to find how much more than 5.31 is the sum.

We can write 5.31 = 5.310 because we have three digits after the decimal point in the sum.

To find how much more, we need to subtract 5.310 from 9.607

9.607

5.310 (-)

_____

4.297

____

So the sum 9.607 is 4.297 more than 5.31
