The first measurement is 18.2m;

The second measurement is 927cm;


\begin{gathered} \\ 100\operatorname{cm}=1m \\ 927\operatorname{cm}=(927)/(100)m \\ 927\operatorname{cm}=9.27m \end{gathered}

The third measurement is 0.044km;


\begin{gathered} 1000m=1\operatorname{km} \\ 0.044*1000m=0.044\operatorname{km} \\ 44m=0.044\operatorname{km} \end{gathered}

Thus, the total length of the kite string is;


18.2m+9.27m+44m=71.47m

CORRECT ANSWER: 71.47m
