Sure, let's break down the steps to solve the question:
We need to find the value of the expression [tex]\(2.1 + 3.32 - 1.4\)[/tex].
1. Start with the two numbers being added together: [tex]\(2.1 + 3.32\)[/tex].
- First, align the decimal points for clarity:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{r}
2.1 \\
+3.32 \\
\hline
5.42 \\
\end{array}
\][/tex]
2. Now, subtract [tex]\(1.4\)[/tex] from the result:
- Again, align the decimal points:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{r}
5.42 \\
-1.4 \\
\hline
4.02 \\
\end{array}
\][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\(2.1 + 3.32 - 1.4\)[/tex] is [tex]\(4.02\)[/tex].
Therefore, the best answer is:
B. 4.02
