To find the total amount of string you bought, you can simply add the two lengths together:

\[ 4600 , \text{mm} + 2800 , \text{mm} = 7400 , \text{mm} \]

Now let's convert this total into centimeters and meters:

  1. To convert millimeters to centimeters, divide by 10: \[ 7400 , \text{mm} \div 10 = 740 , \text{cm} \]

  2. To convert millimeters to meters, divide by 1000: \[ 7400 , \text{mm} \div 1000 = 7.4 , \text{m} \]

So, the total amount of string you bought is:

  • 7400 mm
  • 740 cm
  • 7.4 m
