I have the following operation on a list:
In[69]:= Total[{"{0.000019245008972987524}",
"{0.00001886580626702042}", "{0.000017455790451689365}",
"{0.00001963576060910879}", "{0.000019245008972987524}",
"{0.000017793092615557995}", "{0.000020882171194647923}",
"{0.00002045383034646352}", "{0.00001886580626702042}"}]
Out[69]= "{0.000017455790451689365}" + "{0.000017793092615557995}" +
2 "{0.00001886580626702042}" +
2 "{0.000019245008972987524}" + "{0.00001963576060910879}" + \
"{0.00002045383034646352}" + "{0.000020882171194647923}"
Why don't I get the result of the addition? Can anybody give me a hint?
