Question 5

The result of adding 6, 12.55, and 5.022 together is 23.572.

Adding the numbers 6, 12.55, and 5.022 yields a total of 23.572.

A) 18.55

This option is incorrect because it does not account for all three numbers being added together. The sum of 6 and 12.55 alone exceeds this amount, indicating a miscalculation.

B) 23.572

This option is correct as it accurately represents the sum of the numbers 6, 12.55, and 5.022. When calculated, the total is indeed 23.572.

C) 30.025

This option is incorrect because it suggests a total that is significantly higher than the actual sum. The addition of the three specified numbers does not reach this figure.

D) 16.575

This option is also incorrect as it underestimates the total sum of the numbers. The addition of 6, 12.55, and 5.022 results in a number much larger than 16.575.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 23.572, accurately reflects the sum of the numbers given in the question. All other options fail to represent the true total, either by being too low or too high, demonstrating a misunderstanding of basic addition.
