Add the following decimals: 1.763 + 0.29 + 12.4321.
A) 12.6113
B) 14.2241
C) 14.4851
D) 12.6374
C) 14.4851
1.763 + 0.29 + 12.4321 = 14.4851. It is important to place the decimal points in each of the numbers to be added in a line so they are even with each other. Another good idea is to add zeros to fill out all the empty places in each number so (because 12.4321 has the most characters of the three numbers being added) they have the same amount of characters as each other. Therefore, you can think of the numbers being added as 01.7630 + 00.2900 + 12.4321.
