Answer 1

To solve 0.25 + 0.65, the decimals are added to get 0.90, which is the same as 9/10 in fractional form. Therefore, the answer is Option B. 9/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve 0.25 + 0.65, we simply perform the addition of these two decimals:

1. Align the decimal points of the numbers vertically.
2. Add the numbers as if they were whole numbers, taking care of the decimal positions.
3. Place the decimal point in the answer directly below the decimal points of the numbers being added.
4. The sum is 0.25 + 0.65 = 0.90.

This result in decimal form can be converted to fraction form. 0.90 is equivalent to 90/100, which simplifies to 9/10 when the numerator and denominator are both divided by 10.

Therefore, the correct answer to the given problem is Option B. 9/10.
