You have one box that is 2 and 5/11
feet tall and a second box that is 2.45 feet tall. Write the decimal expansion for
2 and 5/11. If you stack the boxes, about how tall will the stack be
we have that
[tex]2\frac{5}{11}=2+\frac{5}{11}=\frac{22+5}{11}=\frac{27}{11}=2.454545\ldots[/tex]If you stack the boxes,
we have
2.45+2.45=4.90 ft
