QuestionHolland added three decimals to get 2, with one being 0.34. What are two other decimals that sum to 2?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total sum of the three decimals is. . One of the decimals is0.34.
3. We are looking for two other decimals that Holland could have used to make a sum of.

STEP 2

First, we need to subtract the known decimal from the total sum to find the sum of the two unknown decimals.
$Sum\, of\, unknown\, decimals = Total\, sum - Known\, decimal$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total sum and the known decimal to calculate the sum of the unknown decimals.
$Sum\, of\, unknown\, decimals =2 -0.34$

STEP 4

Calculate the sum of the unknown decimals.
$Sum\, of\, unknown\, decimals =2 -0.34 =1.66$

STEP 5

Now that we have the sum of the unknown decimals, we can choose any two decimals that add up to this sum. For example, we could choose0.83 and0.83, or1.16 and0.5, or any other pair of decimals that add up to1.66.Note The problem does not specify that the two decimals must be different, so it is possible for them to be the same. If the problem did specify that the decimals must be different, we would need to choose two different decimals that add up to1.66.
Holland could have used0.83 and0.83, or1.16 and0.5, or any other pair of decimals that add up to1.66.
