Question

Stacking Boxes You have one box that is 1 feet tall and a second box that is 1.18 feet tall. If you stack the boxes, about how tall will the stack be?

A)3
B)1.18
C)1.89
D.1.18

Answer 1

The stacked height of a box that is 1 foot tall and another that is 1.18 feet tall is 2.18 feet tall. The provided options do not include the correct combined height.

Step-by-step explanation:

When stacking two boxes, one that is 1 foot tall and another that is 1.18 feet tall, the total height of the stack is found by adding the heights of the individual boxes. Therefore, the combined height of the stack will be:

1 foot + 1.18 feet = 2.18 feet tall.

As such, none of the provided options A) 3, B) 1.18, C) 1.89, or D) 1.18 are correct, and there may be a mistake in the question or the options provided. The actual height of the stacked boxes is 2.18 feet tall.
