Question

Name 3 decimals whose sum is 0.08

Answer 1

Answer: $0.05,\ 0.02$ and $0.01$

Step-by-step 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:

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