Answer:
The sum 9.607 is 4.297 more than 5.31
Step-by-step explanation:
Jimmie adds 3.24, 4.294 and 2.073 .
Here we can write 3.24 = 3.240 because adding 0's at the end of the decimal number does not change the value of the number.
Let's add them vertically.
3.240
4.294
2.073 (+)
_____
9.607
_____
Therefore, the sum is 9.607
Now we have to find how much more than 5.31 is the sum.
We can write 5.31 = 5.310 because we have three digits after the decimal point in the sum.
To find how much more, we need to subtract 5.310 from 9.607
9.607
5.310 (-)
_____
4.297
____
So the sum 9.607 is 4.297 more than 5.31
