        lets see – the question is – notice that .9 equals 0.9 and .01 equals 0.01 – that makes it easier to keep straight
        Questions is – 4.7 + .9 + .01

        Take the first part – 4.7 + 0.9 = 5.6

        5.6 + 0.01 = 5.61 Choice C is correct

        Watch your decimals!

    Why for number 6 the decimal is moved only once and for number 5 the decimal is all the way in the front?

      One is multiplication and one is division

      For #5, count the digits behind the decimal place in the question, this will tell you where to place the decimal place in the answer. For #6, you only need to move the decimal one place over for the the denominator to be devisable by the numerator (7 goes into 8)
