show how to add 6.48 + 196 + 196 + 196 + 3 + 5.3

Answer 1

To add the numbers 6.48, 196, 196, 196, 3, and 5.3, you can follow these steps:

1. Add the whole numbers separately from the decimal numbers.

   Whole numbers: 196 + 196 + 196 + 3 = 591

   Decimal numbers: 6.48 + 5.3

2. Convert 5.3 to a decimal with two decimal places for easier addition:

   5.3 = 5.30

3. Now add the decimal numbers:

   6.48 + 5.30 = 11.78

4. Now, add the results from the two parts together:

   591 + 11.78 = 602.78

So, the total of 6.48 + 196 + 196 + 196 + 3 + 5.3 is 602.78.
