The segment AB is 4 1/8 cm. The segment KM is longer than the segment AB by 5/8 cm. Calculate the length of the segment KM.

First of all, it should be noted that, since the segment KM exceeds the segment AB by 5/8 cm, in order to determine the length of the segment KM, it is necessary to add 5/8 cm to the length of the segment AB. AB is 4 1/8 cm, which means we need to add 5/8 cm to 4 1/8 cm.

Let’s perform this action and get:

4 1/8 + 5/8 = (4 + 1/8) + 5/8 = 4 + 1/8 + 5/8 = 4 + (1 + 5) / 8 = 4 + 6/8 = 4 + 3 / 4 = 4 3/4 (cm).

Answer: KM = 4 3/4 cm.
