A construction company employee ordered 891.963 pounds of cement to fix some potholes and 372.384 pounds of cement to build a sidewalk. How much cement did he order in all?

Question

​ pounds

Answer 1

To find the total amount of cement ordered, you simply add the two quantities together:

\[ 891.963 \text{ pounds} + 372.384 \text{ pounds} = 1264.347 \text{ pounds} \]

Thus, the employee ordered a total of 1264.347 pounds of cement.
