To solve the problem shown above, you must apply the following proccedure:

1. You have the following information given in the problem:

- Mike built a sandcastle that has a height o 2 3/6 feet.
- Mike added a flag that has a height of 2 2/4 feet.

2. Then, you only have to sum 2 3/6 feet and 2 2/4, as below:

2 3/6 feet=2.5 feet
2 2/4 feet=2.5 feet

3. So, you have:

total height=2 3/6+2 2/4
total height=4 1/1 feet

W
hat is the total height of his creation?
