Question

What is the answer to9.56+4.8

Answer 1

Answer:
`14.36`

Explanation:

1. Add a 0 to the end of 4.8 so that it has the same number of decimal places as 9.56; 4.8 can also be written as 4.80.

2. Line the numbers up one over the other and add the numbers that are stacked.

• Hundredth Place:
  `6+0=6`
• Tenth Place:
  `8+5=13` (3 will be in the tenth place, then we carry the 1 to the ones place)
• Ones Place:
  `4+9+1=14` (we carried the 1 from the tenth place)

3. Your written answer should be 14.36.
