Answer:
0.05,\ 0.02 and
0.01

Explanation:

For this exercise it is necessary to review the definition of decimal numbers.

By definition, decimal numbers are those numbers that contain a Decimal point, which separates the whole number part and fractional part.

Remember that the sum is the result of an Addition.

Then, given the Decimal number:


0.08

You need to find three decimal numbers that, when you added , you get the sum
0.08.

To undertand this better, imagine that you are working with the number 8. You know that it can be obtained, for example, by adding these numbers:


5,\ 2 and
1 or
4,\ 1 and
3

In the same way, you can add the following decimals to get the sum
0.08:


0.05,\ 0.02 and
0.01

Checking:


0.05+\\0.02\\0.01\\........\\0.08
