Zack went shopping for some chocolate for baking. At one store, he bought 610.271 ounces of chocolate in bars. At another store, he bought 6.3 ounces of chocolate chips. How much chocolate did he buy in all?

1 answer

To find the total amount of chocolate Zack bought, we need to add the two amounts he purchased:

  1. Convert the quantities to the same format if necessary. The first amount is in ounces, and the second amount is also in ounces.

    • Amount from the first store: 610.271 ounces
    • Amount from the second store: 6.3 ounces
  2. Add the amounts together:

    \( 610.271 + 6.3 \)

    To add these conveniently, we can express 6.3 as 6.300 to match the decimal places:

    \( 610.271 + 6.300 = 616.571 \)

Thus, the total amount of chocolate Zack bought is \( \boxed{616.571} \) ounces.
