Question

Maggie stacked a box that was 83 centimeters (cm) tall on top of a box that was 128 centimeters. How tall was the stack of boxes in meters and centimeters?

Answer 1

211 centimeter ; 2.11 meter

Explanation:

Given that:

Height of box 1 = 128 cm

Height of box 2 = 83 cm

Stacking box 2 on the box 1 :

Height of stack :

Height of box 1 + height of box 2

128 cm + 83 cm = 211 cm

Converting 211 cm to meter :

100 cm = 1 m

211 cm = (211 / 100) m

= 2.11 meter
