Led Question 1. How did you compute sums of dollar amounts that were not whole numbers? For example,
how did you compute the sum of $5.89 and $1.45? Use this example to explain your strategy.
Your answer

Computing the sum of $5.89 and $1.45 we get: $7.34

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to explain, how can we compute the sum of $5.89 and $1.45?

Computing the sums of dollar amounts is same as computing the sum of simple decimal expressions. Each value will be added to its corresponding values and we will get the answer.

Computing the sum of $5.89 and $1.45

So, we will start adding from right side, 9 will be added with 5 and we get 14, 1 will be given carry and 8 will be added by 4 and add the carry we get 13, 1 will be given carry and 1 will be added by 5 and add the carry we get 7

So, Computing the sum of $5.89 and $1.45 we get: $7.34

i hope this is what you were looking for.

see attached graph

14 ft 7 inches

step-by-step explanation:

since each model inch corresponds to 25 real inches, 7 model inches will correspond to

7×25" = 175"

at 12" per foot, that is 14 feet, 7 inches.
