A worker in a factory stacks metal sheets on top of each other. The first sheet is 7.448 centimeters thick. Next comes a sheet that is 7.927 centimeters thick, and then a third sheet that is 2.9 centimeters thick. When the worker is done stacking them, how thick will the stack of metal sheets be?
To find the total thickness of the stack of metal sheets, we add the thicknesses of each sheet: 7.448 cm + 7.927 cm + 2.9 cm = <<7.448+7.927+2.9=18.275>>18.275 cm. Answer: \boxed{18.275}.
To find the total thickness of the metal sheets, we need to add up the thickness of each individual sheet.
Step 1: Add the thickness of the first sheet (7.448 cm).
7.448 cm
Step 2: Add the thickness of the second sheet (7.927 cm) to the total thickness so far.
7.448 cm + 7.927 cm = 15.375 cm
Step 3: Add the thickness of the third sheet (2.9 cm) to the total thickness so far.
15.375 cm + 2.9 cm = 18.275 cm
Therefore, the stack of metal sheets will be 18.275 centimeters thick.
To find the overall thickness of the stack of metal sheets, we need to sum up the thicknesses of each individual sheet.
First, let's add the thickness of the first sheet, which is 7.448 centimeters.
Next, we add the thickness of the second sheet, which is 7.927 centimeters.
Now, we add the thickness of the third sheet, which is 2.9 centimeters.
To find the total thickness of the stack, we add these three values together:
7.448 + 7.927 + 2.9 = 18.275 centimeters.
Therefore, the stack of metal sheets will be 18.275 centimeters thick.
