Question

You have one box that is 2 3 11 feet tall and a second box that is 2.27 feet tall. Write the decimal expansion for 2 3 11. If you stack the​ boxes, about how tall will the stack​ be?

Answer 1

The stack will be 4.54 feet tall

Explanation:

Firstly, we want to write the decimal expression for 2 3/11

That will be 2 + 0.2727

To 2 decimal place, that will be 2.27

Staking the two boxes means we are placing one on the other

So the height of the stack will be 2.27 + 2.27 = 4.54 feet
