Each digit to the right of the decimal point represents a fraction based on powers of ten. The first digit to the right is the <strong>tenths<\/strong> place, and the second digit to the right is the <strong>hundredths<\/strong> place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with <strong>5 tenths<\/strong>.<br>A tenth means one part out of ten. So 5 tenths is written as <strong>0.5<\/strong>, which is the same as 5 divided by 10. This can also be written as the fraction 5\/10, which equals 0.5 in decimal form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we consider <strong>7 hundredths<\/strong>.<br>A hundredth means one part out of a hundred. So 7 hundredths is written as <strong>0.07<\/strong>, which is the same as 7 divided by 100. In decimal form, that\u2019s 0.07.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s add these two decimal numbers:<br><strong>0.5 + 0.07<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add them correctly, we must align the decimal points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">markdownCopyEdit<code>  0.50  \n+ 0.07  \n______\n  0.57\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>We add the digits column by column starting from the rightmost digit. In the hundredths place, 0 + 7 = 7. In the tenths place, 5 + 0 = 5. The sum is <strong>0.57<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, <strong>5 tenths + 7 hundredths equals 0.57<\/strong> in decimal form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To confirm this result using fractions:<br>5 tenths = 5\/10<br>7 hundredths = 7\/100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add them, find a common denominator:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5\/10 = 50\/100<br>7\/100 = 7\/100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>50\/100 + 7\/100 = 57\/100 = <strong>0.57<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both methods\u2014using decimal addition and converting from fractions\u2014lead to the same correct answer: <strong>0.57<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-649.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-649.jpeg 852w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-649-250x300.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-649-768x923.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write 5 tenths + 7 hundredths as a decimal.
