Model Rocket Launch Day: Decimal Flight Records

Use decimal operations to check equipment, measurements, and launch supplies.

1. Check the Measurements

A student team is preparing for a model rocket launch day. Use standard algorithms and show your work on separate paper. Give exact answers; do not round.

1.
Two equipment cases have masses of 138.65 grams and 47.8 grams.

138.65 + 47.8 =   grams

2.
A tracking log compares a target altitude of 250 meters with a recorded altitude of 86.47 meters.

250 − 86.47 =   meters

3.
Three parts of a recovery system have masses of 12.48 grams, 9.76 grams, and 16.3 grams.

12.48 + 9.76 + 16.3 =   grams
