Question

There are seven numbers in this list:

0.123,
-0.123,
0.112233,
0.13,
-0.0123,
0.1223,
0.125
Ashley rewrites the seven numbers in order from least to greatest, then circles the second and sixth numbers in this ordering. What is the sum of the two numbers she circles? Express your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

0.1127

Explanation:

Answer 2

sum of the 2 circled numbers is
`\textbf{0.1127}`

Explanation:

The given seven numbers are

`0.123, -0.123, 0.112233, 0.13, -0.0123, 0.1223, 0.125`

Rewritting the above numbers from smallest to greatest is

`-0.123, -0.0123, 0.112233, 0.1223, 0.123, 0.125, 0.13`

Now circling the 2nd and 6th number as Ashley circled.

`-0.123, {\bf -0.0123}, 0.112233, 0.1223, 0.123, {\bf 0.125}, 0.13`

now sum the 2 circled numbers

`-0.0123+0.125`

`=0.1127`
