A.
123.7
B.
165.46
C.
163.3
D.

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 119.06 + 0.24 + 44 \), we can first add the numbers step by step:

1. Start by adding \( 119.06 \) and \( 44 \):
\[
119.06 + 44 = 163.06
\]

2. Next, add \( 0.24 \) to \( 163.06 \):
\[
163.06 + 0.24 = 163.30
\]

Thus, the simplified result of the expression \( 119.06 + 0.24 + 44 \) is \( 163.30 \).

Looking at the answer choices:

A. 123.7
B. 165.46
C. 163.3
D. 163.24

The correct answer is **C. 163.3**.
