What value will come in place of question mark(?) in the question
42.065 + 4.08 + 0.0014 =?

Options

A. 48.1624
B. 45.1514
C. 44 .2516
D. 46.1464

Answer

To solve the equation \( 42.065 + 4.08 + 0.0014 = ? \), we need to follow these steps:

### Step 1: Align the Decimal Points
First, we need to align the numbers by their decimal points. This will help us add them easily. We can rewrite the numbers as follows:

- \( 42.065 \) remains as \( 42.065 \)
- \( 4.08 \) can be rewritten as \( 4.0800 \) (adding two zeros to the right)
- \( 0.0014 \) can be rewritten as \( 0.0014 \) (which is already in the correct format)

Now, we have:
```
42.0650
+ 4.0800
+ 0.0014
```

### Step 2: Add the Numbers
Now, we will add the numbers column by column starting from the rightmost side:

1. **Rightmost column**: \( 0 + 0 + 4 = 4 \)
2. **Second column**: \( 5 + 8 + 1 = 14 \) (write down 4 and carry over 1)
3. **Third column**: \( 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 (carry) = 1 \)
4. **Fourth column**: \( 2 + 4 = 6 \)
5. **Fifth column**: \( 4 + 0 = 4 \)

Putting it all together, we get:
```
42.0650
+ 4.0800
+ 0.0014
-----------
46.1464
```

### Step 3: Write the Final Answer
Thus, the value that comes in place of the question mark (?) is:
\[ ? = 46.1464 \]
