To find the two other decimals that Holland could have used to make the sum of 2 with 0.34, we can start by writing down what we know.
- Total Sum: Holland's three decimals add up to 2.
- One Decimal: One of the decimals is 0.34.
Now, we can use some math to find out how much the other two decimals must add up to.
First, we subtract 0.34 from the total sum of 2:
\[ 2 - 0.34 = 1.66 \]
This means that the two other decimals together need to add up to 1.66.
Now, there are many combinations of decimals that can make 1.66. I'll give you two examples:
Example 1:
- One decimal could be 0.80 and the other could be 0.86.
- If we add them together: \[ 0.80 + 0.86 = 1.66 \]
Example 2:
- Another option could be 1.00 and 0.66.
- Adding these gives: \[ 1.00 + 0.66 = 1.66 \]
In both examples, when you add them to 0.34, you get the total of 2:
\[ 0.34 + 0.80 + 0.86 = 2 \] or \[ 0.34 + 1.00 + 0.66 = 2 \]
So, Holland could use either of those pairs of decimals, or many others, as long as they add up to 1.66 together!
