Question
James works on a 6-hour shift today. He has 2 cartons of items that he needs to deliver today. One is 24.52 kilograms and the other one is 18.8 kilograms. Total weight of cartons James carrying = ________________
- 43.52 kg
- 42.52 kg
- 44.32 kg
- 43.32 kg
Hint:
The total weight of cartons James carrying will the sum of both cartons.
24.52 + 18.8
The correct answer is: 43.32 kg
24.52 + 18.8
= 24.52 + 19 (rounding to the nearest whole number)
= 43.52 - 0.2 (compensation)
= 43.32
Number of cartons = 2
Weight of carton 1 = 24.52 kg
Weight of carton 2 = 18.8 kg
Total weight of cartons = weight of carton 1 + weight of carton 2
= 24.52 + 18.8
= 43.32 kg
The correct option is (c) 43.32 kg
