Answer:

Adding whole numbers together is fairly straightforward, but how do we add a whole number and a number with a decimal? The trick is to write the whole number as a decimal number by including a decimal point followed by zeros. Use as many zeros as needed to make your whole number have the same number of decimal places as the decimal number. Then, align the decimal points and add the numbers by adding their respective place value digits together.

Hope this helped!
