Problem

What is the value of the expression in decimal form?

\[\frac{44}{11}+\frac{110}{44}+\frac{44}{1100}\]

$\textbf{(A) } 6.4 \qquad\textbf{(B) } 6.504 \qquad\textbf{(C) } 6.54 \qquad\textbf{(D) } 6.9 \qquad\textbf{(E) } 6.94$

Solution 1

We see $\frac{44}{11}=4$, $\frac{110}{44}=2.5$, and $\frac{44}{1100}=0.04$. Thus, $4+2.5+0.04=\boxed{\textbf{(C) }6.54}$

For this problem, a lot of people struggle to immediately think of this solution, and instead try to make all denominators the same which wastes a lot of time.

After solving this problem why don't we consider some poetry?

Solution 2

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

Solution 3

Convert all of them into the same demoninator of $1100$. We have $\frac{4400}{1100} + \frac{2750}{1100} + \frac{44}{1100} = \frac{7194}{1100} = \boxed{\textbf{(C) }6.54}$ ~andliu766


Solution 4(fastest)

Use 4400 as the common denominator.

$\frac{17600}{4400} + \frac{11000}{4400} + \frac{176}{4400} = \frac{17600+11000+176}{4400} = \frac{28776}{4400} =  \boxed{\textbf{(C) }6.54}$
