Problem
What is the value of the expression in decimal form?
![\[\frac{44}{11}+\frac{110}{44}+\frac{44}{1100}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/0/2/a0239bc45b6cb760f0c8d1681b07160160efa56c.png)
Solution 1
We see 
, 
, and 
. Thus, 
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 
. Now, taking the common denominator, we get ![\[\frac{200}{50}+\frac{125}{50}+\frac{2}{50}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/a/f/fafe7fec668c75cd9b9f12bf444aec1e6c167719.png)
![\[= \frac{200+125+2}{50}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/0/3/a03873103972cbf654a34dfd7bcf97b5db9413e1.png)
![\[= \frac{327}{50}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/8/b/88b748fc048fd4ff8456c910e852f3e485a9832a.png)
![\[= \frac{654}{100}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/e/f/bef73b25eb9085283b60990d080efe56451865ec.png)
![\[= \boxed{\textbf{(C) }6.54}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/2/4/a2435d588ba21f0e8429dc29067aafe587a8ec58.png)
