Holland added three decimals that made a sum of two. One of the decimals was 0.34 what are two other decimals? Holland could've used to make a sum of two.

Answer 1

To find the two other decimals that, along with 0.34, sum to 2, you can set up the equation:

\( x + y + 0.34 = 2 \)

where \( x \) and \( y \) are the two other decimals.

First, subtract 0.34 from 2:

\( x + y = 2 - 0.34 \)

\( x + y = 1.66 \)

Now, you can choose various values for \( x \) and \( y \) that add up to 1.66. Here are a couple of examples:

1. If you choose \( x = 0.80 \), then: \[ y = 1.66 - 0.80 = 0.86 \] So one possible pair is \( (0.80, 0.86) \).

2. If you choose \( x = 1.00 \), then: \[ y = 1.66 - 1.00 = 0.66 \] So another possible pair is \( (1.00, 0.66) \).

Therefore, two possible pairs of decimals that can be used along with 0.34 to make a total of 2 are \( (0.80, 0.86) \) or \( (1.00, 0.66) \).
