Adding Decimals 52Cf7B

1. **State the problem:** We need to add the decimals $0.195$ and $89.1$. 2. **Align the decimals:** Write the numbers so the decimal points line up: $$ \begin{array}{r} 0.195 \\ 89.1 \\ \end{array} $$ 3. **Add trailing zeros:** To add easily, add zeros to $89.1$ to make it $89.100$ so both numbers have the same number of decimal places: $$ \begin{array}{r} 0.195 \\ 89.100 \\ \end{array} $$ 4. **Add the numbers column by column:** $$ \begin{array}{r} 0.195 \\ +89.100 \\ \hline 89.295 \\ \end{array} $$ 5. **Final answer:** The sum of $0.195$ and $89.1$ is $89.295$. This method works because adding zeros to the right of a decimal number does not change its value, it just helps align the digits for addition.
