Answer 1

0.42

Explanation:

One tenth of the coins are from Europe. Thirty-two hundredths are from Asia.

Fraction of the Coin from Europe = 1/10

Fraction of the Coin from Asia = 32/100

The total of the coins from Europe or Asia will be the sum of the two fractions stated above

Therefore, Total of the Coins from Europe or Asia = 1/10 + 32/100

= 0.1 + 0.32

=0.42

Therefore, 0.42 of the coins are from Europe or Asia.
