QuestionAdd $6.6 + 2.75 + 4.4$. Why is it easier to add in a specific order?

Studdy Solution
Calculate the total sum.
$$Total\, sum =11 +2.75 =13.75$$The reason for this strategy is that it is easier to add compatible numbers that are easy to compute mentally. In this case,6.6 and4.4 are compatible numbers that add up to a whole number, making the calculation simpler. Furthermore, the numbers have the same number of decimal places, which also simplifies the addition.
