Question

Find the value of $617+6.017+0.617+6.0017$.

Answer 1

Hint: We break the given terms with respect to integer and decimals. We find the sum of the integers and decimals separately. Then we add them to find the final solution.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We find the additional value of $617+6.017+0.617+6.0017$.
We have decimal values and we find the decimal values with the integers.
We take them separately and add them.
So, we take $6.017=6+0.017,6.0017=6+0.0017$.
There are 4 terms in the addition of $617+6.017+0.617+6.0017$.
We can break them into integers and only decimal parts.
So, $617+6+6=629$.
Now we add the decimal parts where we have $0.017+0.617+0.0017=0.6357$.
Now we add them to get the final answer in the form of summation.
We get $617+6.017+0.617+6.0017=629+0.6357=629.6357$.
Therefore, the value of $617+6.017+0.617+6.0017$ is $629.6357$.
So, the correct answer is “$629.6357$”.

Note: We can also add them directly. Write down the numbers, one under the other, with the decimal points lined up. Put in zeros so the numbers have the same number of digits after decimal. Then add, using column addition, remembering to put the decimal point in the answer.
$\begin{align}
  & 617.0000 \\
 & 006.0170 \\
 & 000.6170 \\
 & \underline{006.0017} \\
 & 629.6357 \\
\end{align}$
