Answer:
16.31
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to start with multiplying because of PEMDAS, so
1.3 x 8.7
so 7 x 3 = 21, and carry the two, then 7 x 1 = 7 + 2 = 9.
at the bottom you now have that it equals 9.1
so, now you start your next line and put a 0.
then, 8 x 3 = 24, of course carry the 2, and 8 x 1 = 8 + 2 = 10.
you will now have 10.40 under that
you then add 9.1 + 10.40 to get your answer of
11.31
lastly, just simply add
11.31 + 5
and you get your final answer of 16.31
