Answer 1

You have one box that is 2 and 5/11

feet tall and a second box that is 2.45 feet tall. Write the decimal expansion for

2 and 5/11. If you stack the​ boxes, about how tall will the stack​ be​

we have that

`2(5)/(11)=2+(5)/(11)=(22+5)/(11)=(27)/(11)=2.454545\ldots`

If you stack the​ boxes,

we have

2.45+2.45=4.90 ft
