Problem 4:
One box is 44 cm 5 mm tall. Another box is 35 cm tall. How tall will the boxes be if both are stacked one on top of the other?
Step 1: Write both heights with same units (cm and mm).
First box: 44 cm 5 mm
Second box: 35 cm 0 mm
Step 2: Add cm parts: 44 cm + 35 cm = 79 cm
Add mm parts: 5 mm + 0 mm = 5 mm
Total height = 79 cm 5 mm

Problem 5:
Mr. Jones bought a cloth of length 3890 cm. How much is the length in m and cm?

3890 ÷ 100 = 38 with remainder 90
That means:
38 meters and 90 centimeters
✔ Final Answer for Problem 5:
