Question

1.56
+
0.083 show your WORK

Answer 1

To add the numbers \(1.56\) and \(0.083\), we will align the decimal points for clarity and then add each column.

1. **Align the numbers:**

```
1.560 (This is 1.56 written with three decimal places to match the second number)
+ 0.083
--------
```

2. **Add from right to left:**

- Starting from the rightmost column (thousandths):
- \(0 + 3 = 3\)

- Moving to the next column (hundredths):
- \(6 + 8 = 14\) (write down 4 and carry over 1)

- Moving to the next column (tenths):
- \(5 + 0 + 1 \text{ (carried)} = 6\)

- Moving to the leftmost column (units):
- \(1 + 0 = 1\)

3. **Combine the results:**

```
1.560
+ 0.083
--------
1.643
```

Therefore, \(1.56 + 0.083 = 1.643\).
