`0.295 + 2.95 + 29.5 + 295`= ?

Options

A. `327.745`
B. `327.746`
C. `327.756`
D. `327.856`

Answer

To solve the problem \(0.295 + 2.95 + 29.5 + 295\), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Align the Numbers
First, we need to align the numbers by their decimal points. This helps in adding them accurately.

```
295.000
29.500
2.950
0.295
```

### Step 2: Add the Numbers
Now, we will add the numbers column by column starting from the rightmost column (the thousandths place).

- **Thousandths place**: \(0 + 0 + 0 + 5 = 5\)
- **Hundredths place**: \(0 + 0 + 5 + 9 = 14\) (write down 4 and carry over 1)
- **Tenths place**: \(0 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 1 (carry) = 14\) (write down 4 and carry over 1)
- **Units place**: \(5 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 1 (carry) = 8\)
- **Tens place**: \(2 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 2\)
- **Hundreds place**: \(0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0\)

Now, putting it all together, we have:

```
295.000
29.500
2.950
0.295
---------
328.045
```

### Step 3: Place the Decimal Point
The decimal point in the answer should be placed directly below the other decimal points. Since the highest number of decimal places in the original numbers is three (from 0.295), we will place the decimal point after three digits from the right.

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{328.045} \]
