Question

James is building a deck for a client and has several pieces of wood he wants to use. The sizes of the pieces of wood are 1.5m, 2500, 850, 4.8 what

Answer 1

`Total = 9.65m`

Explanation:

Given

`Pieces: 1.5m, 2500mm, 850mm, 4.8m`

Required

The total length in metres (this completes the question)

The total length is:

`Total = 1.5m + 2500mm + 850mm + 4.8m`

Convert mm to m

`Total = 1.5m + 2500*0.001m + 850*0.001m + 4.8m`

`Total = 1.5m + 2.5m + 0.85m + 4.8m`

`Total = 9.65m`

The total length of the wood is 9.65 metres
