Question

Harper has two cans of paint that he would like to combine into one can. If one can contains 6 11 ounces and the other can contains 22 7 ounces, can he pour them together into one 29-ounce can?

Answer 1

Yes, he can.

Explanation:

Harper has two cans of paint that he would like to combine into one can.

One can contains 6.11 ounces and the other can contains 22.7 ounces.

The total quantity of paint he has is:

6.11 + 22.7 = 28.81 ounces

Since 28.81 ounces is lesser than 29 ounces, he can put both cans of paint into the 29 ounce can of paint.
