Question

40 a restaurant uses decimals to measure the spice level of its burritos. one burrito has a spice level of 0.6. the chef adds hot sauce with a spice level of 0.2. the new spice level is 0.6 + 0.2. find the sum. 41 find the total number of tenths. then write the answer as a decimal. 42 0.6 + 0.2 = 6 tenths + 2 tenths = ? tenths = ? 0.6 + 0.2

Explanation:

Step1: Add the number of tenths

We have 6 tenths and 2 tenths. To find the total number of tenths, we add 6 and 2. So, \( 6 + 2 = 8 \) tenths.

Step2: Convert tenths to decimal

Since 8 tenths is the same as \( \frac{8}{10} \), and \( \frac{8}{10}=0.8 \) in decimal form.

Answer:

The first box (number of tenths) is 8, and the second box (decimal) is 0.8. So the sum is \( 0.8 \).
