Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are adding two volumes measured in milliliters (mL).
2. The volumes to be added are 9.727 mL and 16.50 mL.
3. We need to align the decimal points to add these two numbers correctly.

STEP 2

Write both numbers with the decimal points aligned, ensuring that each place value lines up correctly.
$\begin{array}{c} \phantom{0}9.727\, \text{mL} \\ +16.500\, \text{mL} \\ \hline \end{array}$
Notice that we have added a zero to the second number to match the number of decimal places in the first number.

STEP 3

Add the numbers starting from the rightmost digit (the smallest place value) and move towards the left.
$\begin{array}{c} \phantom{0}9.727\, \text{mL} \\ +16.500\, \text{mL} \\ \hline 26.227\, \text{mL} \\ \end{array}$

STEP 4

The result of the addition is the sum of the two volumes.
The total volume is $26.227 \, \text{mL}$ .
