A chef bought 5.8 kilograms of almonds and 1.4 kilograms of pecans. How many kilograms of nuts did the chef buy in all?

1 answer

To find the total weight of the nuts the chef bought, you simply add the weights of the almonds and the pecans together:

\[ 5.8 , \text{kg (almonds)} + 1.4 , \text{kg (pecans)} = 7.2 , \text{kg} \]

Therefore, the chef bought a total of 7.2 kilograms of nuts.
