Answer 1

Answer: 1 $\frac{14}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

     1 + 0.56

Next, we will write the decimal as a fraction, it is fifty-six hundredths.

     1 + $\frac{56}{100}$

Finally, we can simplify this fraction.

     1 + $\frac{14}{25}$

Lastly, we can add them back together.

     1 $\frac{14}{25}$
