Question

x=.9875 and y =.675 what is w

Answer 1

Since w = x + y + missing part

Since x = 0.9875 and y = 0.675, then

$\begin{gathered} w=0.9875+0.6750+\text{missing part} \\ w=1.6625+\text{missing part} \end{gathered}$

You should add 0 to 0.675 to be 0.6750 because the other number has 4 decimal places to do the addition correctly

Since we do not know the value of the missing part, but we know that it will add to 1.6625, so the answer must be greater than 1.6625
