Explanation

To solve this question, convert the fractions into decimals and carefully add them.

$$\frac{3}{10}+\frac{43}{100}+\frac{17}{1000}$$= 0.3 + 0.43 + 0.017 = 0.747;this is your target answer.

Choice (A) equals 0.7+ 0.4 + 0.07 = 1.17.
Choice (B) equals 0.6 + 0.12 + 0.037 = 0.757.
Choice (C) equals 0.07 + 0.4 + 0.007 = 0.477.
Choice (D) equals 0.07 + 0.004 + 0.7 = 0.774.
Choice (E) equals 0.32 + 0.4 + 0.027= 0.747.

The correct answer is choice (E).
