Three cans of food weighing 8.25 oz., 10.483 oz.,and 9.37 oz., are in a bag. What is their combined weight?
In this problem, we know that there are three cans of food that weigh 8.25 oz., 10.483 oz., and 9.37 oz., and we want to find out their combined weight so we add.
Lining up the decimal points for our 3 numbers, notice that we need to write a 0 at the end of 8.25 and 9.37 to fill out all of our columns.
Now, simply add the numbers to get 28.103.
Therefore, the combined weight of the cans is 28.130 ounces.
