Show work for a adding problem

8.9 + 0.25 add and show work

First of all you ought to know that 8.9 is the same as 8.90. With this in mind,
8.90
+ 0.25
------
9.15
EXPLANATION
0+5 as you know is 5.
9+2 is 11, write down 1 and then add the other 1 to the 8 above to get 9, from here you add 9 to 0 to get 9 which you'll write it down. Your decimal places must correspond. Your final answer is therefore 9.15

you need to balance the decimals!(:
8.9 only has 1 decimal place whereas 0.25 has 2 decimal places
so all you have to do is add a zero to the end of 8.9!
you should get:
8.90+0.25=
since we always add from left to right, add the 0 and 5 which is 5, then the 9 and 2 which is 11 and you carry the 1 over to the eight, then the 8 and 0 and add the leftover 1

THE ANSWER IS: 9.15

HOPE THIS HELPED!:D
good luck!

8.9
+ .25
_________________________
step 1 - line up the decimal
step 2- starting on far right ad 0 to 5
write 5 to far right
next ad 9 to 2, write 1 next to the 5 and mark a lil 1 next to 8
step 3 ad lil1 to 8 and write a 9 and a decimal

your answer is 9.15 ( FrACTION = 9 15/100's simplified to 9 3/20ths)

8.90 + 0.25 = 9.15

I hope this information was very helpful.

8.9+
0.25=

Put a little 1 next to the 8 to show work
