Chapter 2: Problem 26

\(1555 \mathrm{~cm}+0.001 \mathrm{~cm}+0.8 \mathrm{~cm}=?\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
\(1555.801 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step by step solution

01

Convert all given lengths into decimals

We have 3 lengths to add: 1555 cm, 0.001 cm, and 0.8 cm. The first and the last lengths are already in decimal form, so we don't need to convert them.
02

Add the given lengths

Now that we have all the lengths in decimal form, we can add them easily: \(1555 \mathrm{~cm} + 0.001 \mathrm{~cm} + 0.8 \mathrm{~cm}\)
03

Perform the addition

Adding the three lengths, we get: \(1555.001 \mathrm{~cm} + 0.8 \mathrm{~cm} = 1555.801 \mathrm{~cm}\)
04

Write the final answer

The total length, which is the sum of the given lengths, is 1555.801 cm.
