The sum of two numbers
5.036.

first number: one number has 4 in the tenths place, 7 in the thousandths
place.

=> x.4x7

2nd number: 1 in ones place and 2 in the hundredths place.

=> 1.x2x

Now, we have the 2 numbers with given clues:

=> x.4x7 + 1.x2x, where x is the missing number.

Note that in adding numbers, we start from the right most.

=>x.4x7 + 1.x2x = 5.036

=> x.4x7 + 1.x29

=> x.407 + 1.x29

=> x.407 + 1.629

=> 3.407 + 1.629

=> 5.036
