Sure! Let's go through the solution step by step.

### Step 1: Identify the given numbers
We have two numbers that we need to add:
[tex]\[ 10036.0 \][/tex]
and
[tex]\[ 1.245 \][/tex]

### Step 2: Perform the addition
To find the sum of these two numbers, we add them together:
[tex]\[ 10036.0 + 1.245 = 10037.245 \][/tex]

### Step 3: Determine the correct number of decimal places for the final answer
When performing addition (or subtraction), the result should be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places in the given problem.

Among the numbers given:
- [tex]\( 10036.0 \)[/tex] has 1 decimal place.
- [tex]\( 1.245 \)[/tex] has 3 decimal places.

The smallest number of decimal places is 1.

### Step 4: Round the result to the correct number of decimal places
Our calculated sum is [tex]\( 10037.245 \)[/tex].

Rounding this number to 1 decimal place, we get:
[tex]\[ 10037.2 \][/tex]

### Conclusion
Therefore, the sum of [tex]\( 10036.0 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 1.245 \)[/tex], when rounded to the correct number of decimal places, is:
[tex]\[ 10037.2 \][/tex]
