We know to add two or more decimals:

Solved examples on word problems on addition of decimal fractions:

1. Find the sum of 12.279, 3.00046 and 742.000372.

                12.279000

                  3.000460

         +    742.000372

               757.279832


2. The rain fall in a city during the months of July, August and September were 9.82 cm, 5.24 cm and 2.32 cm respectively. Find the total rainfall during three months.

Rainfall in July                             =                            9.82 cm

Rainfall in August                         =                            5.24 cm

Rainfall in September                   =                      +    2.32 cm

3. Mike walked 14.5 km on Monday, 12.75 km on Tuesday, 15.8 km on Wednesday and 18.6 km on Thursday. How many kilometres did Mahesh walk in 4 days?

Mike walked on

Mike walked on Monday                                  =                  14.50 km

Mike walked on Tuesday                                 =                  12.75 km

Mike walked on Wednesday                             =                  15.80 km

Mike walked on Thursday                                =             +   18.60 km
