Let’s solve the expression step-by-step.
Step 1: Break down the expression into individual components.
Step 2: Identify and add the first two numbers:
[tex]\[ 2.5 + 0.5 = 3.0 \][/tex]
Step 3: Add the result (3.0) to the third number:
[tex]\[ 3.0 + 0.7 = 3.7 \][/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]\( 2.5 + 0.5 + 0.7 \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{3.7} \][/tex]
