Chapter 1: Problem 32

Add \(1.46 \mathrm{m}\) and \(2.3 \mathrm{cm}\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
The sum of \(1.46 \mathrm{m}\) and \(2.3 \mathrm{cm}\) is \(1.483 \mathrm{m}\).

Step by step solution

01

Convert the measurements into the same unit

Before performing the addition, convert the measurement in centimeters into meters. As there are 100 centimeters in a meter, divide \(2.3 \mathrm{cm}\) by 100 to convert it to meters. \(2.3 \mathrm{cm} = 2.3/100 \mathrm{m} = 0.023 \mathrm{m}\)
02

Add the measurements

Now that both measurements are in meters, they can be added together: \(1.46 \mathrm{m} + 0.023 \mathrm{m} = 1.483 \mathrm{m}\)
03

Presenting the final solution

The sum of \(1.46 \mathrm{m}\) and \(2.3 \mathrm{cm}\) is \(1.483 \mathrm{m}\).
