Solve the following problem:
34.567 + 2.45
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(34.567 + 2.45\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 34.567 + 2.45 = \frac{37017}{1000} = 37.017 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{34}{1}\), \(\frac{567}{1000}\), \(\frac{2}{1}\), and \(\frac{45}{100}\) is \(1000\). \[ \begin{aligned} 34.567 + 2.45 &= \frac{34 \cdot 1000}{1 \cdot 1000} + \frac{567 \cdot 1}{1000 \cdot 1} + \frac{2 \cdot 1000}{1 \cdot 1000} + \frac{45 \cdot 10}{100 \cdot 10} \\ &= \frac{34000 + 567 + 2000 + 450}{1000} \\ &= \frac{37017}{1000} \end{aligned} \]
