Question

Stacking Boxes You have one box that is 12

feet tall and a second box that is 1.36 feet tall. Write the decimal expansion for 1 If you stack the boxes, about how tall will the stack be?
11
What is the correct decimal expansion for 1
OA. 1.36
OB. 1.88
OC. 1.44
OD. 1.36

Answer 1

The correct decimal expansion for 1/11 is approximately 0.09, and stacking a 12 feet tall box on top of a 1.36 feet tall box will result in a stack approximately 13.36 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct decimal expansion for 1/11 can be found by dividing 1 by 11, which gives a recurring decimal 0.090909..., often rounded to 0.09 for simplicity. However, none of the options provided (A: 1.36, B: 1.88, C: 1.44, D: 1.36) resemble the decimal expansion for 1/11.

If you want to stack two boxes, one that is 12 feet tall and the other that is 1.36 feet tall, you simply add their heights to determine the stack height. The total height would be 13.36 feet when rounded to two decimal places.
