The answer is: 196.328992

To solve this, both numbers must be aligned in such way that the decimal point are aligned, and then we add from left to right:

Then, the 992 isn't adding anything so remains the same.

3 + 5 = 8 so we can put this directly

4 + 8 = 12

then we do the same as when we're adding whole numbers, we put the unit and take the 1 to the next place.

The next place have 0 + 2 = 2 but also have the 1 from before: 2 + 1 = 3

Now we need to add 12 + 184

2 + 4 = 6 and 1 + 8 = 9:

Then: 12 +184 = 196
