Problem

What is the value of $\frac{44}{11}+\frac{110}{44}+\frac{44}{1100}$?

Solution 1

We can simplify this expression into $4+\frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{25}$. Now, taking the common denominator, we get \[\frac{200}{50}+\frac{125}{50}+\frac{2}{50}\] \[= \frac{200+125+2}{50}\] \[= \frac{327}{50}\] \[= \frac{654}{100}\] \[= \boxed{\textbf{(C) }6.54}\]
