To find the sum of decimals, we can follow a simple process. Let's take the example you provided: 0.28 + 0.62.
First, we align the decimal points in both numbers. In this case, we have:
0.28
+ 0.62
Next, we add the numbers in each column, starting from the right. In the tenths place, we have 8 + 2, which gives us 10. Since 10 is greater than 9 (the largest single digit), we carry over the 1 to the next column.
0.28
+ 0.62
------------
0.90
Moving to the next column, we add the digits after carrying over. In the ones place, we have 1 + 0 + 6, which gives us 7.
0.28
+ 0.62
------------
0.90
So, the sum of 0.28 and 0.62 is 0.90.
Note: It's essential to keep track of the decimal point and alignment throughout the process to ensure accuracy when adding decimals.
