While learning to measure in hundredths of an inch, you stack up some coins and find that they are 5.87 inches tall. You add these coins to a stack that is already 1.98 inches tall. What is the total height of the coins now?

1 answer

To find the total height of the coins, you need to add the height of the first stack to the height of the second stack.

1.98 inches + 5.87 inches = 7.85 inches

Therefore, the total height of the coins is 7.85 inches.
