Explanation:

Arithmetic

There are situations where different mathematic operations must be done in order to find the required results. Four operations are known as basics in arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The question describes how Dale added 5.0 grams of salt into a pot of soup and then he added 0.31 grams of salt more. This means the total amount of salt added by Dale into the soup is the sum of both quantities:

Total salt added = 5.9 grams + 0.31 grams = 6.21 grams.

Dale put 6.21 grams of salt into the soup in all
