Answer: Carlos does not have enough wires by 0.1 meters

Explanation:

To determine if Carlos has enough wires, you need to find out the total amount of wires needed and then compare this to the amount of wires that Carlos has already.

= 0.9 + 0.9 + 0.9

= 2.7 meters

Carlos has 2.6 meters of wire but needs 2.7 meters.

Carlos therefore, does not have enough wires.
