Question

Sue stacked one box onto another. The bottom box had the height of 2 1/3 feet and the top box had the height of 3 2/3 feet. How tall were the stacked boxes?

Answer 1

To figure this out you would just add 2 1/3 feet and 3 2/3 feet. Which would give a total of 6 feet tall.

Answer 2

We know that the bottom box has a height of 2 1/3 feet and the top box has a height of 3 2/3 feet.
To find the total height, we do:
2+3=5 ←These are whole number
1/3+2/3=1
5+1=6
So the total height of the two boxes are 6 feet.
