Problem 2
What is the value of this expression in decimal form?
![\[\frac{44}{11} + \frac{110}{44} + \frac{44}{1100}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/5/c/7/5c7e5b58fa8556742330357616baa41f8daabd7a.png)
Solution 1
We see that 44/11 is 4; 110/44 simplifies to 5/2, which is 2.5;
and 44/1100 simplifies to 1/25, which is 0.04;
4+2.5+0.04 reveals is 
.
