Final answer:
To find the sum of fractions and a decimal, we need to find a common denominator and then add the fractions. The result is 11.77.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the sum of fractions and a decimal, we need to find a common denominator. The smallest number that 100 and 50 both divide into is 100. We then convert 1/50 to 2/100.
So the new equation becomes 1/100 + 2/100 + 1.175 = 3/100 + 1.175. Then we can add the fractions by keeping the denominator the same: 3/100 + 1/100 + 1.175 = 4/100 + 1.175.
Finally, we add the fractions: 4/100 + 1.175 = 1175/100 + 1.175
= (1175 + 1.175) / 100
= 1176.175 / 100.
Rounding this to the hundredths place gives us an answer of 11.77.
