Question

Andrew has one book that is 237 inches thick and a second book that is 3.56 inches thick. If he stacks the books, about how tall will the stack be? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

You just add the thickness of the 2 books which is 237+3.56=240.56
Then you round the hundredth place which is 5 and next to it is the number 6 and that’s 5+ so it’s going up by a number. The answer is 240.6 inches tall. I tried explaining it well so sorry if you didn’t understand.
