Total height of the cake and the candles is 17.1 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Convert the mixed fractions into decimal expressions.
11 7/10 cm = 117/10 = 11.7 cm
5 4/10 cm = 54/10 = 5.4 cm
- Step 2: Find total height of the cake and the candles
Total height = 11.7 + 5.4 = 17.1 cm
82% = 82/100
38/50 = 76/100
Average of 76 and 82 = 79
Getting a score of 38 out of 50 will hurt his grade, as it will bring the average down to 79%
