Question

Harper has two cans of paint that he would

like to combine into one can. If one can
contains 6 1 ounces and the other can
contains 221 ounces, can he pour them
together into one 29-ounce can? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes, he can.

Step-by-step explanation:

Harper has two cans of paint that he would like to combine into one can.

One can contains 6.11 ounces and the other can contains 22.7 ounces.

The total quantity of paint he has is:

6.11 + 22.7 = 28.81 ounces

Since 28.81 ounces is lesser than 29 ounces, he can put both cans of paint into the 29 ounce can of paint.
